Engineering Manager - RealEyes Media

Functions

As an engineering manager, I was tasked with managing a small team and managing contractors for some projects.

My team consisted of two junior engineers, one associate engineer, and several contractors over two years.

My main focus was to empower the junior developers to build their skills, guide the associate engineers to further their careers, and oversee the work of contractors.

Project Outcomes

  • Managed my team members through multiple projects

Personal Takeaways

At RealEyes, we had a loose leadership style. All team members were on the team to work and grow, which allowed managers to focus on empowering the team.

One of the best parts about managing is the ability to focus on mentoring and building team members’ skills. Luckily, that was what I was able to do here.
