Your Engineers Are Changing Jobs
The people-side playbook for the engineering reset — read the engineering org, rewrite roles converging on builder and strategist, map and verify the eight durable skills, rebuild performance and pay when output is automated, fix the junior pipeline, and co-own a 90-day plan with your CTO
What you'll be able to do
- A short orientation — what this path covers, who it's for, and where to begin.
- Why the deepest role transformation in the company landed on your desk, and how the twin paths give you and the CTO a shared playbook.
- The literacy that buys credibility: pods and agent fleets, what builders do all day, and the vocabulary bridge that turns HR into the partner the CTO needs.
- PM, design, and engineering definitions are collapsing into two shapes — the builder and the strategist — and the job specs that prove it are already written.
- Turn the eight durable skills into a verification grid, segment your tech population into four readiness archetypes, and replace self-rating with proof.
- Volume metrics broke the day agents joined the team. Here is how to measure what humans actually add — and draft leveling criteria the CTO will co-sign.
