Leaders, if you’re also a Hiring Manager, structure interviews to assess the candidate’s discernment skills for all levels and especially for senior+ engineers.
Tech Skills are important. However, it’s a given that senior engineers know how to write code.
What’s not a given is how they will approach the problem, design the solution, choose the technology, or contemplate the impact on the business and customer.
The above list is heavily influenced by the lens the engineer looks through. If it’s purely or heavily tech focused, the end result may be a robust system…that doesn’t meet the business or customer needs.
Exceptional Leaders recognize that software development is made up of many elements. The most significant element is the ability to grasp and comprehend. It’s from this deep understanding that creative, efficient, and effective software is delivered and delights.
