engineering manager
Software team leader
An engineering manager oversees a team of software engineers or other technical staff, balancing people management with technical leadership.
The role involves hiring, mentoring, removing obstacles, and translating between business priorities and engineering work.
Unlike purely technical roles, success is measured largely through the team's output rather than individual contributions: She moved from senior engineer to engineering manager last year.
