Talk: [Cancelled] Building A Great Engineering Culture

Track: Sponsored Solutions Track III
Location: Pacific BC
Day of week: Tuesday
Duration: 5:25pm - 6:15pm

As more and more Enterprise Software companies build solutions for the Internet-of-Things market, enterprise software engineers and embedded engineers come together on product teams. While Cloud developers debate issues like horizontal scale and canary deployments, embedded engineers deliberate power budgets and direct memory access. Without conscious effort, the cultural gap can lead to friction, delayed projects and frustration. This talk highlights best practices on how to successfully put together such teams right from interviewing to onboarding, bridge the software development cultural gap, and successfully deliver, in a short period of time, products that span low footprint software on one side of the spectrum to highly scalable SaaS Environments at the other end.
