Looking beyond coding to make the right decision
June 25, 2021

‘Should I hire the engineer in front of me?’

This decision is high-stakes and costly. It can make or break teams. The clock is ticking, and you only have 60 minutes. How do you make the best use of this time to identify a great engineer?

What does a great engineer mean to you?

The first step is to identify what you’re looking for in the engineer. Depending on the stage of your company, the current skillset of your team, and the product roadmap, the definition of a great engineer varies. Your company’s values and its engineering growth framework are good reference points.
