When a company grows changes are inevitable, but what happens when the growth is very fast? What should we expect as engineers, tech leads or engineering managers? What will break, what will keep working? How can we prepare at best? In this talk, I’ll share my experience at SuperAwesome where we scaled our product and engineering team up from 15 to 45+ people. I’ll walk through the key cultural, managerial, and technical challenges that we faced, the inflexion points encountered, the mistakes made, and all the lessons learned in this fantastic journey!
