Jean Hsu, VP of Engineering at Range, chats with Juan Pablo Buriticá, most recently Head of LatAm Engineering at Stripe, about the common pitfalls engineering managers make at high-growth startups.

Jean and Juan Pablo discuss:

  • The difference between being a manager at a high-growth startup vs. a larger, more established company
  • The importance of understanding business needs in communicating about technical work
  • Why you shouldn't just copy processes from other companies wholesale (like Spotify's matrix management)
  • What it means to take a product approach to team processes
