研发工程总监应该做什么？What does a Director of Engineering do?

April 15, 2020, 7 min read**

我很幸运，我的职业生涯是随着组织成长不停的被推动着进步。
I’ve been fortunate in my career to be part of organizations that have always constantly pushed me.

当我开始在现在的公司Roundtrip工作时，我是一名软件工程师。
When I started with the company I’m currently at, Roundtrip, I was a software engineer.

当时，Roundtrip是一家含我在内6名员工的早期的国有初创企业，主攻医疗运输领域。
At the time, Roundtrip, a company in the healthcare transportation space was an early state startup with six employees, including me.

随着团队的发展，我的直接主管也是首席技术官(CTO)每天都要外出应酬，所以我被放到了领导的位置上。
As the team grew the CTO, my direct manager, had to elevate himself to out of the day to day and so I was put into a leadership position out of necessity.

我的职责发生了变化，但当时我在公司的职位Title没变。
My accountabilities and responsibilities changed but at the time my position in the organization chart didn’t.

我不知道老板们对我的期望是什么，但我知道我必须补充工程师来发展团队，处理技术和成员沟通，并创建流程来保持我们的前进。
I had no idea what the expectations were of me, but I knew I had to grow the team by finding engineers, handle technical and personal reviews and create processes to keep us moving forward.

除了这些，我还必须弄清楚我的职责范围。
Aside from all that, I also had to figure out what responsibilities fell under my domain.

三年过去了，我终于能够自信地谈论我的职责以及我认为这个职位能为公司带来的价值了。
Three years on, I’m finally at a place where I feel confident talking about my accountabilities and the worth I feel this position brings to an organization.

最近，我整理了自己的角色的思维导图，并将每个部分分解成粒度期望(可以随意缩放、移动和扩展/折叠下面的地图)。
Recently, I challenged myself to mind map my role and break each part down into granular expectations (feel free to zoom, move and expand/collapse the map below).

1对1沟通 Conducting 1-1s

我个人的使命是创建一个世界一流的工程团队，创造世界一流的产品。
My personal mission is to create a world class engineering team that create world class products.

这是从个体开始的。理解和管理员工的动机、情绪、技能和期望，帮助他们设定目标，消除个人和职业上的障碍，让他们对自己的薪水和目前的职位感到满意，这些对于保持他们的专注和确保高质量的产出是至关重要的。我每周会与我的团队成员单独会面，了解他们的需求，为他们提供一个表达意见的平台。
This starts from the individuals. Understanding and managing peoples motivations, emotions, skills and expectations, helping them set goals, removing personal and professional blockers and keeping them happy with their salary and their current roles are imperative to maintaining their focus and ensuring high quality output. I meet with my team individually on a weekly basis to keep a pulse on their needs and give them a platform to be heard.

招聘Recruiting

要建立最好的团队，你必须找到最好的人。你新招的每一个人都应该比你现有团队一半以上人水平要好。加入门槛提高的同时也让现有团队每个人都感到挑战。
To build the best team you have to find the best people. Each person you bring in should be better than at least half of of your existing team. This keeps the bar high and makes sure that everyone constantly feels chal
