Sobre este libro
En 2018 Keyvan regresa a España para formar parte de Cabify como Head of Engineering tras pasar seis años en Londres, los últimos cuatro liderando equipos en Wise, con muchos aprendizajes sobre los retos de gestionar y escalar equipos orientados a producto en circunstancias de crecimiento explosivo. Un año más tarde, en el 2019 Álvaro comienza como VP de Engineering en Lookiero tras años liderando equipos durante el periodo de compra e integración de TicketBis por parte de Ebay. En el 2020, Félix retorna también a España como Engineering Site Lead para EventBrite tras vivir casi tres años en Londres gestionando equipos de alto rendimiento, los últimos dos en el gigante tecnológico Google.
Aunque sus carreras y contextos son diferentes, los tres comparten el interés por divulgar sobre el rol del Engineering Manager. En 2019 Félix comienza a escribir una serie de artículos sobre el rol y encuentra en Keyvan y Álvaro dos voces con autoridad para revisar y complementar el contenido. Debido al creciente interés por el rol en el ecosistema tecnológico español, finalmente en el 2020 deciden unir fuerzas para crear una guía práctica sobre el rol del Engineering Manager; el tipo de conocimiento que les hubiese gustado adquirir al comienzo de su carrera en el liderazgo y gestión de equipos técnicos.
