Tiago Baião

You're starting a job in the software team at Shapeways. You'd expect to be diving into the code, right? Not so fast. When new engineers join Tiago São José's team at Shapeways, they don’t start by writing code. Instead, they spend a day in production — packing boxes, shipping orders and using the tools they’ll be developing. Because developing the best software comes from understanding how its used in the real world, and knowing the people who use it. ▶️ In this clip, Tiago explains why empathy is at the heart of engineering.

Porto, leadership in QA does not always come with a title. As Quality Engineering evolves, so do the careers of the people within it. Many professionals find themselves leading initiatives, influencing decisions, and guiding teams long before leadership is formally recognized. This often leads to important questions about growth, direction, and long-term career choices. At the 22nd Test Tribe Porto Meetup, we create space not only for technical learning but also for honest reflection on leadership journeys in modern organizations. Session 2 focuses on a question many professionals quietly ask: To Lead or Not to Lead? A Discussion on Career, Functional and Technical Leadership In this session, Tiago Paixão explores how leadership takes many forms. From technical and functional leadership to informal influence, this talk examines when leadership begins, how it develops, and what challenges leaders face along the way. With decades of experience across industries, Tiago brings a thoughtful and grounded perspective that encourages attendees to reflect on their own paths. This session is especially relevant for anyone considering leadership or already influencing teams without a formal role. Meetup Details 📅 14th January 2026 🕡 18:30 (Portugal Time) 📍 Uphold, Porto If you are thinking about your next career step or want clarity on leadership paths, this session will resonate. 👉 RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/ghmEaaGz Thank you to our Tribe Champions Allan Ferreira and Paulo Oliveira for making community-driven learning possible in Porto. #thetesttribe #portoevents #qacareer #techleadership #testingcommunity

I often receive messages like this: "Hi Mariana, I’m a Senior Kotlin Developer with 10+ years of experience. Do you know of any open positions?" There is absolutely nothing wrong with reaching out. I appreciate when people take the initiative, and I try to reply to everyone. But let’s be honest. What are the odds that I am currently looking for someone with that exact profile? It is not impossible, but you would need a bit of luck. Here is my advice: Start by finding a position that matches your profile (in a formal published job or in a post shared on LinkedIn). Then contact the recruiter or talent team who posted it. The chances are much higher that the person you message is directly involved in that vacancy or knows who is. #JobSearchTips #RecruitmentAdvice #LinkedInTips
