Bhumika belongs to the city of Bhiwani, Haryana. She recently completed her B.Tech in Computer Science from Chitkara University, Punjab.

Bhumika has been part of Springworks since April 2021. She joined us as a Software Engineering Intern and then later got promoted to a full-time position as a Software Development Engineer. 

Let’s take a peek inside the life of a Software Development Engineer!

What do you do as a Software Developer at Springworks?

I’ve been a Software Engineer at Springworks for almost a year. I have been working on the SpringVerify India team, which is a Springworks background verification application. My daily activities include designing new features, engaging with team members for conversations, and meeting with the product team to learn about upcoming features and their grooming.

What is your favorite part about Springworks?

There are many aspects of working here that I enjoy, but the team connection at SV-IN stands out. Everyone is welcoming and helpful. We work like a family and have fun together at team events and lunches. Some of the many benefits I like about working here include the reimbursement policy, workcation incentive, and WFH reimbursement.

How has your learning curve improved as a part of Springworks?

I began as an intern and have worked on a variety of projects over my time here. I’ve learned new skills and how to accomplish things more effectively and efficiently. They have always provided me the opportunity to take ownership and build leadership skills. In my time here, I’ve seen myself progress from amateur to professional.

Walk us through a day in the life of Bhumika!

  • I begin my day at 11:00 a.m.
  • The first thing I do is go through my Slack messages to see if there are any important messages or topics.
  • Then I go through my JIRA board and prepare for the Stand-up, where we go over all of the updates and tasks that need to be completed.
  • Then I begin working on my daily responsibilities until 3:00 p.m., that’s when I take a break.
  • Later, I work till 10:00 PM, which includes coding as well as occasional discussion meetings.

Which is your favorite product amongst our two apps, Trivia & EngageWith?

EngageWith is my personal favorite since it gives a platform for team appreciation, which drives us to perform better.

What made you join Springworks?

As I reached the end of my final year of university, I was seeking an opportunity in software development, which thankfully happened to be at Springworks.

What is the one thing that you would recommend to people to join here?

If you want to work in an environment where you can learn new skills and grow professionally, Springworks is the place to be.

What are your ways to connect with people in the company?

I generally can connect with people via VirtualCoffee, Cosmos, Lounge, team lunches, fun events, and HR events.

Sneak-peek into your life outside Springworks!

I enjoy dancing and never pass up the opportunity to do so. In addition, I enjoy traveling and meeting new people. On weekends, I prefer to spend time with my family.
