Kargo Engineering Vision and Dreams
Establish international engineering standard in Indonesia. Why international? We believe this approach will be able to bring technology into global coverage in efficient way. Diversity will help us to see the problems with lavish point of view and better context. More importantly, the culture will allow even A-1 talents to grow together, respect each others and keep everybody’s ego outside the door. We want to push our local young talents to have the same mindset and (hopefully) level of quality with the engineers at Google, Facebook, Apple or Amazon. It will be very challenging but we are doing it seriously.
Kargo Team’s Background
Our team comes from top local and international universities, various startups like Uber, Amazon, Rivigo, Facebook and local unicorns in India, SEA and Indonesia.
Our engineering team consists of a combination of local and international talent based in Jakarta and different countries. Everybody does pair programming and speaks English in daily communication. Our team’s expertise comes from many business verticals like transportation, e-commerce, marketplace, travel, finance, banking and even aerospace.
Kargo Engineering Practice
1. SCRUM & SQUAD TEAM Every squad has its own convention on stand-up meeting. Everybody shares blockers, P0/P1 or potential project delay. We maximize JIRA, Confluence and Ms. Teams chat.
2. OPEN SOURCE We write and comment on a lot of RFCs. Every commit required peers review, TDD and docs. We invest more on documentation, CI/CD, automation and security.
3. DDD FIRST Code represents our business process and organization. Every comment explains why does this work and the reason behind it. This approach helps us to know business context better.
4. PRODUCTION == DEV We are big fans of trunk- based development like Google & FB. We always work on “HEAD” stage where each environment is pretty close under same build and release.
5. POST MORTEM Logger and monitoring help us to mitigate downtime. When it happens, we always write post-mortems, focusing on the problems and how to avoid them. We never blame the person.
6. YOU OWN THE SYSTEM Our SDEs are encouraged to fix anything that they found broken regardless of project or scope boundaries. SDEs have access to end to end product and system to make it easier.
