Role expectations and responsibilities will align with short-,mid- and long-term goals

Short-term goals:

Get used to a large codebase with lots of inner connections that uses a wide number of different languages and techniques.
Be able to work on issues in our most challenging plugins with the largest user base (Views/Blocks, Forms) with supervision: code reviews, and periodic mentoring.

Mid-term goals:

Triage newly created tickets based on their severity and reach, working together with Support on prioritization, executions, and delivery.
Be able to work on general issues with little-to-no supervision, with specific feedback on complex tasks and topics.

Long-term goals:

Take care of the legacy Codeception tests for Toolset. Consolidate passing tests, and evaluate failing tests: discard, fix, rewrite. This is a long task so it should spread as a short, mid, and long goal, but starting ASAP.
Track and preview changes from the platform (WordPress) and how they affect the compatibility of the plugins. This is also an ongoing goal from day 1.
