This rewarding position will lead to you cultivating different types of relationships and projects.

Staff engineering managers work across different teams within a company – including design, product, research, support, and other business roles – with a remit to identify and solve problems. They are experts at detecting friction, be it in the software (which prevents the programmer from easily and quickly building their code), engineering team, team processes, company policies, or anywhere else.

They also look to develop effective working relationships with various partners and stakeholders, while also providing mentorship to direct reports through effective 1:1s and career guidance, in what is a varied and rewarding role.
