Getting to know the newbies, or just getting to know old team mates better…
Our Meet the Team boards have been regularly shared on Slack during lockdown, and it’s proven a good substitution to the idle fact-finding that inevitably happens at the office brew point.
Here, we share the Meet the Team profile of our unstoppable REACT product team.
SortedREACT is a parcel tracking platform for huge global retailers; it aggregates delivery information from different carrier systems and streamlines delivery issue management, to make it easy for customer service teams to handle customer enquiries and making it a smoother, more branded experience for customers excited to receive their parcel.
Our REACT experts work alongside our carrier partners, clients and internal teams to plan, build and maintain the market-leading platform. Here’s a bit more about them…
Kerry.
Product Manager.
A bit about me:
I love to play tennis.
Day-to-day:
I work very closely with Sales, Marketing, Carrier Team, Clients and the REACT dev team. A key part of my role is to define the strategy, roadmap and features. To help me do this I spend time understanding our client’s problems so we can build the right features at the right time, monitoring the market and our competitors, gathering feedback & analysing the usage.
Paul.
Senior Developer.
A bit about me:
I quite like doing DIY and odd jobs around the house. I’ll attempt any project after watching a YouTube video, finished results often vary though.
Day-to-day:
I recently became the REACT line manager. I’ve worked on linking PRO customer data to REACT. There’s also loads of planned features for REACT that we want to prioritise, plus a lot of unseen enhancements needed to support these new features. So, I provide the technical guidance to help Kerry decide timescales.
Andrew M.
Developer.
A bit about me:
I once played video games for 24 hours for charity.
Day-to-day:
I help design and develop features for REACT. I also sometimes write specs for those features. A typical day for me involves wrangling code and wondering if I am just being stubborn by not using ReSharper.
Faisal.
Senior Developer.
A bit about me:
I like learning new technologies. I love spending time with my family. I love playing squash.
Day-to-day:
I’ve only just joined Sorted and the REACT team. I’m starting off by getting involved in shipment tracking work mainly. I’m really excited to learn more.
As we continue to grow – and onboard remotely during in lockdown – we’ve seen nearly 20 new faces (virtually, of course) join us over the past few months. And, we’re on the hunt for even more Sorted sorts.
So, if you’re a brilliant BA or a Front End Dev looking for a new challenge – we’d love to have a chat with you. Click here to see our job openings.
