Immuta

My focus has always been continuous growth, with the long-term goal of becoming a senior engineer who helps shape product direction, foster team culture, and pay it forward by mentoring others. I'm fortunate that Immuta gives me the support I need to make this happen.

Since starting at Immuta, I've defined a clear career progression framework and worked one-on-one with mentors who support my development. I've had opportunities to own impactful work and have been encouraged to dedicate time to self-learning. Immuta also supports my growth beyond the workplace, as an individual and not just an engineer.

I've attended alumni events for women in STEM and listened to inspiring talks from female leaders in the industry. I've also represented Immuta at women in STEM conferences, leading conversations and offering advice to undergraduate students who are now on the same path I was on in college.

These experiences have provided me with a strong foundation, and I'm excited to grow into the engineer and teammate I aspire to be.

My advice is to do your research, but also trust your gut. Figure out what matters to you, and ask targeted questions during the hiring process. Everyone thrives in different environments, so what works for someone else may not work for you.

Pay attention not just to the answers you receive but how they're delivered. If a response makes you feel dismissed or embarrassed, it's often a sign of how that dynamic might show up when you're learning on the job, especially as a woman in a male-dominated field.

A supportive environment that values representation and includes coworkers who advocate for you is key to building confidence in your career. I felt comfortable and cared for throughout the entire interview process with Immuta. That openness and genuineness have carried over into my time here, and it's made all the difference in my ability to grow.
