How to Thrive at a New Mobile Engineering Position

A few months ago, I started at my third full-time Android job at Cash App. All three companies had thoughtful onboarding processes that included mentorship and detailed documentation. I found that in addition to the official process, there are a few things that doing as early as possible — preferably within the first month — ensures a smooth transition into a new mobile engineering role. They’re less important than completing the official onboarding and starter tasks, but they’re helpful for understanding the context of my new position and making a positive impact on my team early on. I try to tackle them while waiting for meetings or code reviews.
