In most companies, this role typically includes a degree of project management. All project management rituals are automated and this role is focused on developing the team using technical excellence. Within most companies, this role is at the same pay grade as Senior Software Engineers, but Lead Software Engineers are the managers of other Software Engineers and have broader responsibilities. While the main output of a Senior Software Engineer is code, Lead Software Engineers are focused on building a great team. What makes someone successful in this role? To be successful in this role, you must be deeply technical, learn quickly, and be able to simplify software design and source code by finding better implementation alternatives. You will build a great team by coaching others on the simplest solution for a technical challenge. The most successful people in this role share these core skills: Big-picture thinkers - they can read use cases and technical specifications and envision how they fit into the broader product Detail-oriented - they are obsessively focused on finding every detail that could improve the UX and account for variations Technically proficient - they understand how software is architected and can both define and break down the work required to achieve the desired goals What is the main challenge for this role? The main challenge is to identify the simplest technical designs and create code simplifications for every case across multiple technologies, and translate these into insights for improving the team’s output quality. Does this role require hands-on coding? Hands-on coding is required when you provide concrete individualized coaching to engineers. Our managers do not stay at the buzzwords-level (e.g., you need to improve your quality). They will review the actual deliverables of their team, come up with deep technical insights and then, shoulder-to-shoulder (in the virtual space), demonstrate how to actually perform the work. So you need to be a great coder and technical person. I’m currently an engineering team-lead. Is this role right for me? Are you super-technical and spend more than 50% of your day-to-day on technical tasks? If so, you should apply. How can I get promoted to the next position on the career ladder? After one year in the role, top-performers can apply for new positions and move up the career ladder. With proper guidance and career planning, you can become a VP of Software Engineering and eventually an SVP of Software Engineering. Your career path is dependent on your performance. What you will learn You will learn how to make better architecture decisions and deliver higher quality code. You will learn how to raise the bar for everyone on the team by providing actionable coaching.
