What a Engineering Manager does
Engineering managers lead a team of software engineers and are accountable for what that team delivers and how its people develop. The job combines hiring, performance feedback and career growth with planning, prioritization and delivery commitments. Most no longer write much code but still need enough technical depth to weigh design tradeoffs and challenge estimates.
