A four-step guide to leveling up your team from the staff plus position.
It’s normal for engineering teams to get stuck. They might be reacting to incidents, treading water, or unable to deliver on their goals. But these problems are compounded when those teams are involved in high-priority deliverables for the company.
I’m a principal engineer at Recursion, where learning and caring are core values, and we believe the right thing to do for struggling teams (and the business) is to help them figure out how to get back on track. One way we go about this is temporarily embedding Staff+ individual contributors (ICs) on these teams to provide some extra help.
