Managing a team of engineers, running 1:1s and performance conversations, partnering with product on roadmap and scope, maintaining engineering standards and processes, participating in technical design reviews, recruiting and retaining engineering talent, and removing blockers for the team.
3–5 years of software engineering experience as an individual contributor before transitioning to management, demonstrated experience managing teams of 4–10 engineers, strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and a clear management philosophy on growth and feedback.
The best engineering managers have both genuine technical credibility and genuine care for the humans on their team. Screen specifically for both — many strong engineers are poor managers and vice versa. Reference checks are particularly important for this role.
