When I look at the people on our process engineering team, I think ... We wouldn’t be where we are today, We wouldn’t have made it as far, We wouldn’t be having so much fun, ... without each one of these amazing people. Each engineer on our team is a critical part of the company. These individuals are helping us break down barriers, solve problems, and help us build the Monolith of the future. Don’t confuse this with, "I can never take a vacation day because I am so critical." That’s not how we work. We’ve got awesome teamwork where we back each other up. That’s because we… #ThinkLikeATeam #PeopleMakeTheDifference #HereYouCan It’s in our core values. It’s who we are. Come and be the important person that you are.

Can you help a lead engineer out?   They are looking to become an Engineering Manager.   Their current company has engineering managers but they aren’t technical, so they would be the first.   They need to write.   • A job description • Progression Framework • Goals • What good and great looks like   I’m looking to connect them with Engineering Managers, Heads of Engineering, Directors of Engineering and CTOs.   Comment or DM me if you could help.   #softwareengineering #softwaredevelopment #careerprogression

Yesterday someone said to me that the true Engineering Managers job description is: To enable really smart people to make them look good. I think in truth there is a bit more to it than that phrase. I like that they have included the word 'enable' and that they are highlighting really smart people. If I had to try and rewrite this in the same vain perhaps: To empower and enable really smart people to achieve business outcomes and deliver business value. How you empower and enable those is the art of Engineering Management.

Should an Engineering Manager be hands-on? I have come across many opinions on this topic. I recently hired an Engineering Manager who was required to be hands-on while managing a team of 10 ICs. To me, this is not feasible. IC engineers would likely suffer in this setup because they would not be given the focus they need to help them with their career development. The common theme I encounter is that engineering managers require a technical background, without a doubt. However, most engineering managers should NOT be hands-on as this can divert attention away from the primary goal of a manager: increasing the team's focus to produce better work. As a manager, you can measure your success by how well your team can operate when you are not there.

Dear network, I'm looking to hire an engineering manager more for 'what they can become' and less for 'what they have done.' If you know any ambitious engineering managers, please send them my way. P.S. This post was inspired by a candidate who believed their experience didn't align with the job description and instead chose to apply for a lower-grade role. It's a timely reminder that job descriptions often don't fully capture the essence of the role."

As an engineering executive, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day operations of the company. But ask yourself this: Are you focusing on the right things? If you're not actively working to improve the company's engineering best practices, then you're not doing your job. Here are some ways you can improve your focus: - Prioritize time for team growth - Set clear objectives and goals - Encourage and listen to feedback - Invest in technology and innovation - Hire top-tier talent and be a mentor Don't get bogged down in the small details. Focus on what truly matters and watch your company's engineering team thrive.
