In this episode, Tom and Jamie sit down with Redgate software engineers Alex Tercete and Andrew Farries to talk all about Redgate's Level Up Academy. They cover how we managed to train more than 50 engineers on a variety of topics, how those topics were selected and how attendees have responded to "going back to school".
In this episode, Tom and Jamie chat with Jeff Foster, Redgate's Head of Engineering and Will Larson, CTO at Calm all about scaling your engineering culture. They cover topics such as why culture is so important, maintaining a small and clear tech stack, the sweet spot for team sizes and the need for specialism and clear development paths.
On this episode, Tom sits down with Chris Smith (Head of Product Delivery at Redgate) and Heidi Helfand (Directory of Engineering Excellence at Procore and author of Dynamic Reteaming) to talk about what reteaming is, why it's a great thing to do and common anti-patterns to watch out for.
On this episode, Jamie and Tom sit down with Head of Design Matt Godfrey and product designer Chris Spalton to talk about their career journeys, from how they got their first design role to how they ended up at Redgate.
On this episode, Tom is joined by Redgaters Tim Dalton, Mike Upton, Matt Godfrey and special guest John Cutler to talk all things OKRs. We discuss what's difficult about OKRs, what makes a good OKR and why the best OKRs may be no OKRs at all.
Jamie and Tom sit down with Chris George and Gareth Bragg to talk about their role as quality coaches at Redgate. We discuss how the role has evolved since it was first introduced, the skills that are the most important to inspiring quality coaches and where we think the role may go in the future.
In a final #NewJobJune flourish we spoke to our engineers on how to break into software development and discussed about their own career journeys.
Our hosts, Jamie Davidson and Tom Walsh chat to Chris Smith, Jeff Foster and Matt Godfrey (3 members of Redgate's Product Division Leadership Team) about LevelUp, Redgate's internal learning and development conference, drilling down into their motivations for running the conference and their experiences of organising it. We also chat to product designers Chris Spalton and Sybil Hoang about why they wanted to run sessions at the conference and how they went about preparing and delivering them.
