(Co-Speaker : Hannah Healy)
Synopsis: Oncall shouldn’t be a chore. It needs to be something that elevates careers and helps your team focus on what matters to your customers. This talk will detail how Intercom made their oncall ambitiously sustainable and a proud part of their engineering culture. Topics covered will include how the problems were initially identified, what they did to build a volunteer-led out-of-hours oncall rota, what did and didn’t work, and the crucial part played by Incident Commanders in this setup.
