Tell us about what you do at Afterpay.
I’m a data/feature engineer on the US Risk team. On a typical day, I work with data analysts and scientists to understand their data needs, and implement solutions to easily, reliably, and scalably extract data from various sources, and make it readily accessible on our team’s platforms.
What is your favourite part about being partof the Afterpay team and why did you choose Afterpay?
What I love most about my job at Afterpay is getting to see my impact across Afterpay’s platform. Because of Afterpay’s horizontal structure, everyone’s hard work shows its payoff. Before Afterpay, my job made me feel like a cog in the machine. I never really got to see the impacts of my contributions. But at Afterpay, every feat counts towards bettering our company, our business, and the experience of our customers.
How is it like to work for Afterpay remotely?
Working remotely at Afterpay has been both interesting and challenging. On one hand, it’s difficult not getting to see in person the amazing people that make this company what it is. On the other hand, everyone has managed to perform so well in spite of the global pandemic. Maybe it’s because we were ahead of the game in virtual collaboration, given so many of us are spread out across Australia and the United States. In any case, it’s impressive to see how strong we’ve all remained. Despite the distance, my coworkers are amazing at what they do, and I can’t wait to see them all again!
