Great 3 years as an IT Account Manager in Brooklyn - Avis employé Account Manager, IT DevsData

I've been working at the company for about two years as a React Web Developer and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to develop in IT while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. My day job is as a React Developer, but I'm often involved in front-end development tasks as well. In my projects, I primarily use React, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), Redux, React Query, HTML5, CSS3/SCSS, and Git. Depending on the project, we also use Next.js, REST APIs, sometimes GraphQL, and Jira and Confluence for work organization. The biggest advantages for me are the atmosphere and flexibility. You can count on the team's support, and communication is more collaborative than corporate. The ability to work remotely and the reasonable approach to working hours are a big plus. If you need to take care of something privately, it's no problem, as long as the projects are completed according to plan.

Of course, not everything is perfect. As in most software companies, there are sprints with a larger number of tasks and moments when deadlines are quite tight. Sometimes, there are projects with legacy code where it takes more time to understand existing solutions than to create new functionality. It's also possible that business requirements change during implementation, requiring rapid adaptation.

I worked as a Tech Leader in the Austin team for about 2 years. I was responsible for technical decisions, supporting the development team, and collaborating with product owners on product direction and planning. The biggest strength of the role was the real impact on architecture and technical direction. Decisions were not imposed top-down but discussed and shaped within the team, which created a strong sense of ownership and responsibility. The team itself was experienced, which made technical discussions very productive and to the point. I also appreciated the overall work organization – sprint planning was clear, and cross-team communication worked smoothly. Code quality was taken seriously, with proper code reviews, testing practices, and engineering standards being consistently followed rather than treated as formalities. The environment also supported growth – not only in technical depth but also in leadership skills and working with people across different teams.

The main challenge was the level of responsibility and the number of parallel topics, especially during critical project phases. The pace could become quite intense at times, requiring good prioritization and time management. Overall, it was a very positive experience. A strong place for engineers who want real influence over product direction and enjoy working in a structured, experienced team environment.
