I worked for a company where there were a bunch of Engineering Leads with no direct reports. Makes no sense, I realize, but titles rarely do. You might want to make that a checkbox.
- rdl 16y agoI'm used to engineering lead vs. manager being "leads technology" vs. "leads team" within a group, so an engineering lead should never have direct reports. Sometimes the engineering lead is sort of a mentor to junior members of the team, too, and it can be training for becoming a manager. It would be unusual for an engineering lead to be responsible for HR-type management of Senior Engineers, at least at every place I've worked.
