Cohort 1

Engineers and engineering leaders who build, deploy, and scale software systems.

Getting promoted, navigating job transitions, and advancing to the next level in your career.

Executive communication — presenting to boards, writing memos, running all-hands, and high-stakes messaging.

Developing leadership skills — inspiring teams, building culture, navigating organizational complexity, and driving results through others.

Designing scalable, reliable software systems — architecture patterns, distributed systems, and technical tradeoffs.

Expand the context. Improve the decisions. Help others grow. These three shifts are what move a strong senior engineer to staff.
