Description and Requirements

Like a Tech Lead, our industry has no common definition for the Engineering Manager. You’ll find this title varies across companies and will vary even in the same company. Some Engineering Managers are like Tech Leads, but there are many who are very different. For example, many don’t write code day-to-day. Instead they focus on:

  • Maintaining a productive working environment for development teams
  • Acquiring appropriate budget for development to support business goals
  • Representing the technology perspective on a management or board level
  • Establishing and/or co-ordinating programmes of work (delivered through development)
  • Recruiting and retention to meet team or IT headcount

An Engineering Manager may sit at a team level but they also sit at a team of teams level. Many Engineering Managers may not have a development background. They may, instead, have been a Project Manager, QA or other role still involved in software.
