Have you ever walked into a party and felt like the most popular person in the room \u2014 where everyone\u2019s like, \u201cHey man, great to see you!\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m so glad you could make it\u201d?<\/p>\n

Now imagine having that feeling every morning<\/em> when you switch on your computer to log in to work. That\u2019s what my first few months in the Cheesecake Labs team have been like. And, for my first full-time job in mobile development, I couldn\u2019t be more psyched to be part of this culture.
\n<\/p>\n

What\u2019s on your wish list for the ideal first employer?<\/h2>\n

After I graduated in 2020, I went into my first internship within the world of mobile development. The job itself was great \u2014 I realized that I loved building products that users have front-end experiences with, such as screens and interfaces.<\/p>\n

But there was something about the culture there that didn\u2019t sit right with me and \u2014 having not been a full-time employee before \u2014 I wasn\u2019t sure if that was just how work was \u201cmeant to be\u201d.<\/p>\n

My focus was to be a great developer and to work with other, great mobile development teams. So I started spending my evenings researching the right opportunities for me.<\/p>\n

Where could I work that allowed me to stay at the forefront of technology? Which companies would have clients in the sectors I found most exciting? And, crucially, who were the teams that made me want to challenge myself and continuously improve?<\/p>\n

\u201cEu corri para o abra\u00e7o\u201d<\/h2>\n

My search for the perfect workplace started broad. I trawled through Google, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn for value-driven companies with strong, user-centric mobile development capabilities.<\/p>\n

It was on my LinkedIn that the CKL logo first appeared (probably as a result of my search history \u2014 thanks SEO!). Then I also noticed a Facebook post they\u2019d put out about recruiting new engineers. I took a look at the website and thought, \u201cWoah. This is where I want to be\u201d.<\/p>\n

It was clear to me that the culture, goals, and values of the business really aligned with my own. The portfolio and case studies showed international clients \u2014 the kind I wanted to work with.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you meet me, you\u2019ll quickly learn that I can be quite determined. So I made it my mission to become part of the Cheesecake Labs team. We have a saying in Brazil, \u201cEu corri para o abra\u00e7o<\/em>\u201d, meaning \u201cI ran to embrace it\u201d. And I looked for every opportunity to call myself a Caker.<\/p>\n

My first steps as a Caker<\/h2>\n

From my very first day, the reception here at Cheesecake Labs has been incredible. The initial weeks were spent being introduced to everyone<\/em>. Whenever someone\u2019s name comes up in relation to a workflow, process, or client account, you get an intro.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s strange to be entering the world of work from my bedroom, but CKL does a great job of making all of us feel connected even if we\u2019re spread right across the World.<\/p>\n

Today, I\u2019m working on an IoT project, which is an amazing opportunity.<\/strong> IoT is such a disruptive space and I\u2019m learning so much as we go. I\u2019m surrounded by people who know a lot about their individual specialisms \u2014 I just hope some of their intelligence rubs off on me!<\/p>\n

One of the most impressive things I\u2019ve realized about how Cakers work is the process they have (or \u201cwe have\u201d, I should say \u2014 I\u2019m still getting used to saying that!). You can really feel like there\u2019s a reason for every process and a way of doing things correctly to deliver delightful digital experiences. It just flows. And that\u2019s no mean feat when we\u2019re juggling clients, speaking over WiFi calls, and having catch-ups interrupted by excitable dogs (we love that really, though).<\/p>\n

Of course, I\u2019m feeling pushed. This is my first job and it\u2019s at a company that Clutch considers Top 10 in the world for mobile development<\/a>. That\u2019s pressure! But it\u2019s good pressure, really. It\u2019s \u201cOkay, let\u2019s impress the client\u201d pressure. I\u2019m not in my comfort zone at all most of the time, but I know I\u2019ve got support.<\/p>\n

The culture here is all about empowering us to do our very best work. We need to feel comfortable with the technology and feel comfortable to create results. Right from the get-go I was involved in client meetings and was encouraged by my Project Manager to share my suggestions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been made to feel like I can create a real contribution to the future of mobile development as part of the Cheesecake Labs team. And I\u2019ve got my eye on helping CKL become a world leader for Flutter development. Bold, considering I\u2019ve only been here a few months? Sure. But certainly very possible with the rest of the Cakers by my side.<\/p>\n

They say that \u201cIf I saw further, it was because I was on the shoulders of giants\u201d. But if I was to put a CKL spin on that saying, it would be: \u201cIf I became a better person, it was because I was surrounded by Cakers and, more than that, surrounded by friends<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

My advice for new grads and junior mobile engineers…<\/h2>\n

Your first job can<\/em> be a dream role. Try not to settle for anything else.<\/p>\n

I wake up in the morning excited to start work \u2014 and that\u2019s a great feeling to start your career with.<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t there just yet, though, don\u2019t worry. Do your homework, study technologies, study architectures. You can learn about other solutions already on the market and upskill yourself professionally by taking online courses.<\/p>\n

And, most importantly, surround yourself with people who can make you a better person and encourage a mutual<\/em> exchange of knowledge. My CKL \u2018Buddy\u2019, Diego, is the first person I go to with any difficulties I face and my Project Manager Fifo is a lifeline as well. Having people you trust to talk ideas through with is super important when you\u2019re trying to change the world with technology!<\/p>\n

It might sound lofty, but that\u2019s how I explain what we\u2019re doing at Cheesecake Labs. We develop tech that changes the world in a delightful, accessible way for all users.<\/p>\n
