Engineering Management

Make the leap from dev to manager. Master 1:1s, performance reviews, hiring, and building high-performing engineering cultures.

The skills that got you promoted to Senior Engineer won't make you a good Manager. This course bridges the gap. You will learn to run effective 1:1s that build trust, write performance reviews that actually help people grow, and manage underperformance with empathy. We cover the hiring lifecycle from sourcing to closing candidates, and how to build an inclusive engineering culture. Learn to balance technical debt with product roadmap demands while shielding your team from burnout.
