New Engineer Onboarding

Phase 1: Environment Setup

Set up local development environment (Node, package manager, Docker, etc.)

Clone all required repositories and install dependencies

Configure environment variables from the internal secrets manager

Verify the local dev server runs end-to-end without errors

Set up IDE with recommended extensions and team linting config

Phase 2: Codebase Tour

Walk through the high-level architecture and service boundaries

Identify the key entry points (API routes, main components, background jobs)

Explain the folder structure and naming conventions

Highlight the most frequently touched modules and files

Point to internal wikis, ADRs, and design docs for deeper context

Phase 3: First PR

Assign a starter issue labeled "good first issue" or "onboarding"

Pair with a buddy engineer for the first PR

Walk through the full PR workflow: branch, commit, push, open PR, review

Explain the CI checks and what must pass before merge

Celebrate the merge — first PR is a milestone!
