About the role
Read this first
You're probably already doing most of this job without the title. People bring designs to you before they build, your review is the one that catches things, and when something breaks late at night you're on the thread whether or not you're on-call. Juniors ask you about their careers even though nobody made that your job.
What we'd like to add is a team that's actually yours, a real say in who joins it, and the authority to decide how your part of the system gets built.
TLM is the step before Engineering Manager and we'd rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise. In 12 to 18 months you're either running a bigger team as an EM or you've worked out that you'd rather go deep, in which case Staff and Principal are open. Either way you won't be stuck.
