Building the Engineering Team and Culture 

The power of a good engineering leader is to build out the engineering team and set a start-up’s  engineering culture, especially when the organization gets to the size where that middle layer of  management is required. A strong head of engineering should therefore be able to determine  who will be good leads for the team, hire them, and be able to groom that skill set over time. 

Product Planning 

Not only the ability to execute, but the leader’s role prior to development is also critical to the  product-planning phase. While product management/marketing will provide insight into the  features, market size, pricing etc. the engineering leadership needs to provide feedback into the  resources (headcount, equipment, etc.) needed to deliver by a given date. An engineering leader  brings sanity to this process with a unified view of broader objectives.

Execution 

Ultimately, the output of any engineering organization is the product. A well-functioning  organization will not only build a high-quality product, but also hit pre-determined dates and  accurately forecast updates to the timeline as it changes. One has to have a command of the  software development process, and ensure the correct process is in place and followed. 

Handling Chaos 

When a product launch goes right and catches the world on fire, the feedback from the market  can be overwhelming. Even with marginal success, engineering will be inundated with customer  escalations, feature requests etc. All of this must be addressed while continuing to drive the  product forward. A hallmark of a strong engineering leader is to maintain composure while  navigating this chaos.
