No matter if you’re in web2 or web3 , as you scale your products to cater to thousands of users, you’re faced with one of the most common challenges for technology startups - how to scale your engineering team fast. Scaling is not just about rapidly hiring people, it’s about building resilient systems and effective team structures that will help the talent you hire thrive and deliver outstanding results. Put a brilliant person in the wrong environment and you can expect nothing but frustration and disappointment.

We discussed the topic with Alex Rashkov, Engineering Manager at Meta. Alex has also held senior engineering roles at HSBC, Moo,com and a few smaller startups. He spent years setting up and leading dev teams and he shared with us his vision on how to build a high performing engineering team. We also talked about effective team collaboration and building cross-functional teams, how to motivate your team to improve their performance, how to measure the results of their work and the key qualities that excellent engineers have in common. 

In this episode, Jean Hsu, VP of Engineering at Range, chats with Gergely Orosz — formerly at Uber, Skyscanner, and Skype — about the decision to go into management.

Jean and Gergely chat about:

• Why Gergely thought management was LAME - and resisted becoming a manager
• The huge contrast between becoming an “accidental manager” at a startup and becoming a manager at Uber
• Defining his leadership by having a list he had created of all the managers he wanted to avoid being
• How to support new managers and set them up for success
• How a checklist of management activities can create a tighter feedback loop for new managers
• The unexpected loneliness of being a manager
