However, the journey to become a software engineer hasn\u2019t been straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy background has nothing to do with computer science or software engineering,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/frbarca\/\">Federico<\/a> tells us. \u201cI was originally a Civil Engineer. I worked in construction for nearly ten years, until one day I decided I&#8217;d had enough\u2014construction is a 24\/7 job. Especially because I was working in the public sector, so we were often bothering thousands of neighbors. I didn\u2019t want to keep doing that for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This major career shift has materialized thanks to Federico\u2019s adaptability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-journey-to-become-an-entry-level-software-engineer\">The journey to become an entry-level software engineer\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy long-term goal is to go back to the Engineering Manager path,\u201d Federico explains when asked why he was so motivated to take on a master\u2019s in computer science. \u201cBut I believe that to be a good manager, you first need to become an excellent engineer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Federico ultimately decided that a bootcamp wasn\u2019t enough to pursue his desired career path. After much consideration, he opted for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/school-science-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IE School of Science &amp; Technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-chose-ie-for-various-reasons-the-differentiating-factor-was-that-you-didn-t-need-a-specific-computer-science-background-there-were-perhaps-three-or-four-other-master-s-programs-offering-something-similar-but-a-friend-of-mine-had-been-to-ie-and-told-me-that-the-master-in-computer-science-amp-business-technology-really-changed-his-career\">\u201cI chose IE for various reasons. The differentiating factor was that you didn&#8217;t need a specific computer science background. There were perhaps three or four other master\u2019s programs offering something similar, but a friend of mine had been to IE and told me that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/school-science-technology\/programs\/master-in-computer-science-and-business-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Master in Computer Science &amp; Business Technology<\/a> really changed his career.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/software-engineering-ie-university-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/software-engineering-ie-university-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/software-engineering-ie-university-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/software-engineering-ie-university-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/software-engineering-ie-university-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/software-engineering-ie-university-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/software-engineering-ie-university-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/software-engineering-ie-university-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/software-engineering-ie-university.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Federico was particularly struck by the transformative element of his studies. \u201cWhen I started the program, I was only thinking about becoming a software engineer. During the program, I learned how many opportunities there are in computer science. I was amazed at how up to date the course was when looking at current use of technology in industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-becoming-an-entry-level-software-engineer-through-the-global-immersion-week\">Becoming an entry-level software engineer through the Global Immersion Week\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon enough, Federico had the opportunity to experience the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/palo-alto-networks-careers-ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Immersion Week<\/a>. This optional trip brings students face-to-face with companies, providing insight into local industries and offering invaluable networking opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Federico\u2019s cohort chose between Amsterdam and Berlin\u2014which prompted a strategic shift from Federico. \u201cI initially signed up for Amsterdam,\u201d he tells us. \u201cBut then I found out there were a lot of people who\u2019d done the same thing. I was focused on getting a job, so I wanted to have more time to speak with the companies. So, I switched to the Berlin trip as there were going to be fewer of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t have my eye on one particular company beforehand,\u201d says Federico when discussing the trip. \u201cI went in with an open mind, but knowing I&#8217;d like a software engineering position.\u201d Luckily for Federico, his path crossed with the Delivery Hero careers team. \u201cWhat I particularly liked about Delivery Hero was their graduate program. And it was specifically for software engineering and data roles. I was already really interested in those fields. Most of the other companies didn\u2019t have this kind of job, or if they did, there wasn\u2019t a graduate program to go with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-importance-of-ie-school-of-science-amp-technology-in-the-journey-to-become-a-software-engineer\">The importance of IE School of Science &amp; Technology in the journey to become a software engineer\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Federico\u2019s subsequent path to employment with Delivery Hero fell into place after the Global Immersion Week. \u201cDelivery Hero specifically mentioned the program was planned to start in September of that year,\u201d says Federico. \u201cBut applications would be announced in March or April. I followed Delivery Hero on LinkedIn along with employees I met at Global Immersion Week. When the product program applications went live, I sent a message to one of the employees via LinkedIn. He told me to go for it. So, I applied, they called me, I did around four interviews, and then I was offered the job!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ask how important Federico\u2019s education at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/school-science-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IE School of Science &amp; Technology<\/a> was in him getting the role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was key,\u201d says Federico. \u201cEverything that I learned about cloud and software development is instrumental to my day-to-day, because all our services run on the cloud. Understanding these details made my life easier. We also had an extra optional course to go deep into data structures and algorithms. That was vital for the two technical interviews (coding challenges) I had to pass to get the job. Pretty much everything I learned at IE is applicable to my work\u2014I remember people groaning about having to do so many presentations. But presentation skills are very important when you\u2019re talking with your managers or colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Federico\u2019s advice for both studying at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/school-science-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IE School of Science &amp; Technology<\/a> and participating in the Global Immersion Week is worth noting: \u201cMake the most of IE\u2019s networking opportunities. The different job fairs, talking to people during the Global Immersion Week\u2026 that was the key to changing my career.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-favorite-thing-about-the-program-was-its-diversity-i-d-never-studied-or-worked-with-such-a-broad-group-of-people-from-different-countries-and-cultures-i-think-that-was-the-most-enlightening-part-of-the-program\">&#8220;My favorite thing about the program was its diversity.

Just try to be yourself. Enjoy it, try to talk with everyone from the companies you\u2019re interested in. Be open to different opportunities. I remember with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paloaltonetworks.com\/demos?utm_source=google-jg-emea-portfolio-brnd-port&amp;utm_medium=paid_search&amp;utm_campaign=google-portfolio-portfolio-emea-gb-awareness-en-eg-brand-core&amp;utm_content=7014u000001ZvqyAAC&amp;utm_term=palo%20alto%20networks&amp;cq_plac=&amp;cq_net=g&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiApY-7BhBjEiwAQMrrEdfPOP4AMHaw1wSQUvwaHAQT7fpUb60f5RLDsKNuBeE4PmdZ9j_r-hoClRkQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Palo Alto Networks<\/a>, I initially didn\u2019t think cybersecurity was my thing. But after seeing the presentation, it was like, hey, being a systems engineer sounds fun, too. So, be open. Because there might be something even better than what you\u2019ve planned. You might not even know it exists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-software-engineering-jobs-delivery-hero-careers\">Software engineering jobs: Delivery Hero careers\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now Federico is working full-time for Delivery Hero and he\u2019s sure he\u2019s in the right place: \u201cDelivery Hero is the world\u2019s leading local delivery platform. We work with a large global ecosystem of riders, restaurants, shops and partners. I work in a platform that involves three brands as a Software Engineer in the Order Lifecycle Squad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ask Federico a little about what his daily workload involves: \u201cWe work with sprints to manage our workload effectively,\u201d he says. \u201cWe plan sprints to deliver results within two weeks. At the start of each sprint, we identify what we want to achieve by prioritizing the most urgent tasks or those aligned with the company&#8217;s OKRs. During the planning phase, we outline clear goals and break them into actionable tasks. Once the plan is set, we pick the tasks we\u2019ll focus on and execute them efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we want to know how Federico is growing in his role. The answer lies in continued challenges. \u201cAt the beginning with Delivery Hero, I worked on small tasks,\u201d he says. \u201cBut I wanted to keep learning and growing, so I asked for more. Eventually, I started getting full packages to work on complete features.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/entry-level-software-engineer-1024x655.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/entry-level-software-engineer-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/entry-level-software-engineer-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/entry-level-software-engineer-150x96.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/entry-level-software-engineer-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/entry-level-software-engineer-1170x748.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/entry-level-software-engineer-585x374.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/entry-level-software-engineer.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ultimately-federico-s-career-shift-has-been-for-the-best-what-i-really-like-about-delivery-hero-is-its-values\">Ultimately, Federico\u2019s career shift has been for the best. \u201cWhat I really like about Delivery Hero is its values.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We say we\u2019re heroes because we care, we deliver solutions, and we always aim higher,&#8221; Federico explains. &#8220;And it\u2019s true.
