Episode notes

In the past, each one of these functions was either a hurdle to jump over to get approved. Now some are talking about taking those in and imbedding them on a team. So if your application engineering team has an x s r e expert or a security expert, they're not reporting into that group but assigned to it. And as they build them, so for all practical purposes, they'll be building out those things. You can get a lot of pre approval steps done earlier, but you're also using them to say this is how we would do this sort of thing.

Former GM of Snyk, Anton Drukh, recently became a mentor for VPs of Engineering and joined us on this week's episode to discuss his experiences leading a team split between two very different cultures. His journey as a leader working with teams in Israel and the UK is a lens into how diversity of mentalities can be an essential asset for tech companies and how it played a role in Snyk's success.

In this episode we spoke candidly about promotions, how teams evolve as companies shed their skin and grow, and the not so obvious career steps from engineer to engineering leader. The shift towards full-stack engineering is in motion. Can organizations rise to the occasion?
