Sharing Screens: What's it Like to Be an Engineer at Cockroach Labs

Cockroach Labs has implemented creative solutions for fostering social learning among its remote engineering team. The company's onboarding period, MOLTing, includes at least three pair programming sessions with different engineers to help new hires learn the code base and product knowledge. Additionally, "Watch Me Work" Office Hours have been introduced, where senior engineers stream their work processes on Twitch or Google Meet for others to observe and ask questions. These programs aim to facilitate organic learning experiences and encourage collaboration among team members, regardless of their physical location.
