Why I joined

Graduating with a degree in computer science, I was eager to put my knowledge into practice and make a meaningful impact in the tech world. Stacked, a budding startup, presented an intriguing opportunity. As a fresh graduate, joining as one of the first engineers might not have been the typical path many of my peers chose, with more defined roles in established companies. Yet, for me, the ethos and vision of Stacked resonated deeply, aligning with my aspirations and setting the stage for the beginning of my professional journey.

Foremost among the reasons I was drawn to Stacked was the allure of diving into complex technical challenges. While many new graduates enter roles with predefined boundaries, Stacked offered a dynamic and evolving landscape. Here, I had the chance to tackle real-world problems, expanding upon what I'd learned in academia and pushing the boundaries of practical application.

The prospect of working closely with a tight-knit team was another significant draw. At Stacked, the intimacy of the team meant that every voice mattered, every contribution was pivotal. The collaborative spirit here was palpable, turning every project into a collective endeavor, every challenge into a shared mission.

Furthermore, the potential for direct impact was unmatched. As a pioneering engineer, every decision I made, every system I helped design, had the potential to shape Stacked's trajectory and influence its future direction. This promise of tangible impact and the chance to be at the forefront of innovation was truly exhilarating.

In reflection, choosing Stacked as my first professional step was about more than just starting a job. It was about aligning with a vision, embracing challenges, and being an integral part of a tech revolution. As I’m continuing my journey with Stacked, I'm filled with gratitude for the chance to grow, innovate, and shape the future alongside a passionate and dedicated team.
