Welcome to Artsy! If you're a new team member, we're excited to have you! Here are your onboarding docs.

This repo is a work in progress. In fact, your first pull request could be to fix or add to this doc. Reach out to your mentor or anyone else on the engineering team with questions, or try the #dev Slack channel 🔒.

Whether you're seasoned or fresh out of school, take a moment to read Your First 60 Days at an Engineering Job.

We split this repo out into different sections, each one has a summary of what's inside to make it easy to browse.

Artsy product engineering is organized in product teams. Each team has a purpose, eg. "Help galleries get the most out of Artsy and run their business better", and Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs, eg. "The number of artworks uploaded by partners." Each team has members with different responsibilities, including a Product Manager, a Designer, a Technical Lead and Engineers, depending on size. Sometimes the same person wears multiple hats.

You can see this organization in the Product section of Notion 🔑.

In addition to working on a product team, engineers are encouraged to participate in our practices:
