Happy Stars Wars Day!
Princess Leia – CEO/Founder
The general and leader of a movement. Someone so inspiring that you will one day drop your day job as a farmhand on Tatooine for a career-changing adventure to change the galaxy, or silicon valley, either is an impressive feat.
They’ve been there from day one and despite not being a technical genius, they’re always coming up with the next innovative idea.
Darth Sidious – CTO
A figurehead of the business who has radical expansion plans but needs more manpower to put them into action. Will show signs of immense technical power when required, as well as strong arguments in favour of joining their (dark?) side. A surprisingly large number of interns have come through the business under their tenure.
Darth Vader – Engineering Manager
By order of the CTO they will enact their bidding to reach the fullest potential. They’ve probably been with the business a while and have some battle wounds to show for it. Will one day send an email around the office, so cutting, any previously avoided tasks are promptly finished by close of play.
Obi Wan Kenobi – Director of Engineering
They’ve been there a long time, so long in fact that they are the default font of all knowledge and wisdom within the business, overseeing the various name and logo design changes. Best not to ask too many questions though as you may hear some old stories about what times were like during the original release of Java.
Han Solo – Senior Developer
The hotshot individual contributor. They are not ready to take the step into management because they themselves cannot be managed. Inadvertently an inspiration for those around them due to their rogue nature and ability to find a solution to the most difficult problems.
Luke Skywalker – Junior Developer
The new kid on the block. They stumble in for enthusiasm to find out the deeper meaning of a fulfilling career. Raw potential seen by one of the managers during an impromptu interview. They move through the business at a rate of knots and threaten to outshine some of the more senior members of their team.
Yoda - UX & Product Designer
Stronger than most in their connection with the Force. The designer may sit outside technical teams but they are equally as wise and powerful. They've trained Jedi researchers for years, playing integral roles in the navigation wars, instruction of full user satisfaction, and unlocking the path to a qualitative, cost-effective and attractive product.
C3PO + R2D2 – HR & compliance
The fearless duo who will stop at nothing to make sure the business is running at it’s most efficient – ask C3PO about the latest on IR35 and expect a lecture point by point on the government updates. R2D2 to follow up with the step by step measures you need to take – you’re not quite sure you understood everything, but C3PO heard everything perfectly.
