Practices: Continuously improve engineering practices. As a Senior Engineering Manager you will be expected to recommend initiatives and lead multiple initiatives across Engineering that improve engineering practices.
Delivery: Just as Product Managers are accountable for what teams build, Engineering Managers are accountable for how the what is delivered to our customers.
