![]() ![]() So, I’ve spent a long time as a hands-on engineer. It was a cool experience and this is the photo that came out of that. I actually just got photographed for something called Faces of Open Source, it’s, which is taking pictures of various people in the open source community. I was hands-on for a really long time, building lots of different kinds of systems, mostly distributed systems. I started out my career as a hands-on engineer, I guess as most people do. I personally have struggled with this, so this is how I have a lot of empathy with this. “Am I still an engineer, or have I suddenly become a business person?” “You either die an engineer or live long enough to see yourself become the business person.” This something my friend Cliff Moon at some point said or tweeted, probably both, and I like this quote not just because it’s kind of funny, but also because I think it really summarizes the struggle that many people have when they think about engineering management. ![]() If you are interested in that world, /careers, check it out. Our engineers and modelers harness data at tremendous skill, use machine learning, distributed computing, and other technologies to build powerful predictive models. Two Sigma is a financial company here in New York. We’re going to talk about what actually what it means to put the engineer in engineering management.īefore I begin, of course, I must give a pitch to Two Sigma, so I am as of about four months ago, the head of platform engineering at Two Sigma. This is a talk about engineering management, which I think is pretty important for building effective engineering teams and building good products. We were customers of Code Climate when I was at Rent the Runway, so I’m a huge fan of the product and I was very honored to be invited to come speak. Camille Fournier: Hi everyone, I am excited to be here at this Code Climate Summit. ![]()
