Graduate Onboarding

Home Week 1
Onboarding Path

Week 1 is discovery. Week 2 onwards is delivery.

Finish this page first, then move straight into the Aquaman kata to build a production-shaped solution using screaming architecture, onion architecture, unit tests, and integration tests.

Week 1 Discovery Week 2 to Delivery Kata
Welcome

Percy & Boitshepo, welcome to Engineers-OnCall

Your first week is a discovery sprint and a capability assessment. We are assessing your ability to network across the company, ask the right questions, frame problems clearly, and show creativity in how you discover answers.

You have company email accounts and will be added to the company WhatsApp groups so you can quickly identify and contact the people you need during week one.

Treat this week like an easter egg hunt: every useful contact, system detail, and business constraint is a clue that helps you build the full picture.

Operate self-driven

Arrive with written questions, validate assumptions, and update docs the same day.

Optimise for outcomes

Focus on what improves delivery quality: clarity, risk reduction, and measurable impact.

Communicate like engineers

Be calm, precise, and evidence-led. If you don’t know, say so and propose the next step.

Week 1 mission

By Friday, you should be able to explain what Engineers-OnCall does, how we deliver, and what "success" looks like for Siwe Group.

Your mission: collect the right clues, connect the dots, and present a clear story with evidence.
