How today’s leaders can empower the next generation of engineers – equipping them with the skills they need to connect modern technology to modern customers.
- Automate everything - The importance of driving velocity, which reduces time from inception to execution and increases the speed of innovation. Developers spend less time thinking about taking code to production and more time on solving customer problems. This approach to productivity and creativity reduces friction for developers who can in turn make better experiences for our customers.
- Drive end to end thinking and shift-left on quality - The need to move towards more full-stack engineers and giving developers more ownership of their work and accountability to create the best experiences possible. eBay’s developers now own the development and quality of the code they write.
- Learn and stay curious - It is imperative to provide machine learning education to every engineer and that everyone in the organization understands the fundamentals of modern AI approaches and how to apply them in real life. eBay has partnered with leading learning platforms and curated custom courses that their developers benefit from.
