How I gained a company's trust for hiring an entire software development team? Here’s how I did it: - Deeply research their business challenges and objectives. - Demonstrate your knowledge with case studies and success stories. - Keep communication clear, direct, and honest. - Establish a personal rapport to foster trust. - Provide actionable insights or small wins upfront. Last week, I gained the trust of a product company to oversee their entire development process by assembling a dedicated software development team. #productdevelopment #softwaredevelopers

A few years ago, I looked after a platform team of 80+ software engineers. I had previously looked after a platform team but at a much smaller scale. One of the genuinely curious questions that I got from others was why did we need 80+ software engineers for a platform team. How much code do these platform engineers need to write? Surely... Think platform engineers just code all day? Think again! 🧐 Their roles and responsibilities go far beyond that. Today, I'll uncover the depth and breadth of a platform engineer's world aka the roles and responsibilities of a Platform Engineer: 1. Architectural Planning: Platform engineers design and establish the platform's overall architecture, ensuring it meets both current and future needs. 2. Developing and Maintaining Systems: They are responsible for building and maintaining systems that support the platform's operation, such as data storage and management, API management, and authentication systems. 3. Ensuring Platform Scalability and Performance: They work to ensure the platform can handle increased traffic and demand without compromising performance. 4. Problem-Solving: When issues arise, platform engineers troubleshoot and resolve them to maintain platform reliability. For a platform in its infancy stage, the amount of work under this category is not small and there can be quite a lot of firefighting which could take away the necessary resourcing to move the platform forward. This is where ruthless prioritisation and superb decision making is necessary from the leadership. 5. Security: They play a key role in securing the platform, safeguarding it from potential threats and breaches. 6. Collaboration: Platform engineers often work closely with other teams, such as developers and product managers, to ensure that the platform supports and aligns with broader organizational goals. #platformengineering #softwareengineering #techexcellence

When should you think you are a staff software engineer? Here is my two cents: - You have a working knowledge of almost all the tech stack that the project relies on. - You have gained expertise in more than one field over the course of your career. - You have been a senior software engineer for more than 3+ years with a total of 7+ years of experience in the industry. (This is debatable. Depth and breadth of experience matter more than the specific number of years.) - You care more about technical stuff than people management. - You can set the technical direction for the current or any new project. - Your work impacts not only your team but also other teams. - You don’t bind yourself to any particular technology. - You can guide any stakeholders if needed. - All the senior engineers look up to you. This is a generic template for a staff engineer. But, there might be cases where someone is only staff in one area. That will depend mostly on the product and team size. For example, a staff engineer in iOS means that a person has more in-depth knowledge of iOS than any senior iOS engineer in the team. #SoftwareEngineering #TechLeadership #CareerDevelopment #SoftwareEngineer #TechnicalLeadership #SeniorEngineer #TechCareer #EngineeringLeadership #EngineeringGrowth #CareerPath #StaffEngineer #ProfessionalDevelopment
