Successful Internet companies are built on a foundation of excellent culture, efficient organization, and solid technology. As a company needs to scale, all of these parts of the foundation need to grow and scale with it.

Driven primarily by the presenter's experience ranging from small Valley startups to Google and eBay, we will learn about:

  • Organizing engineering teams for innovation and velocity

  • Attracting and retaining excellent engineering talent 
  • Developing and sustaining effective engineering processes and methodologies 
  • Architecting scalable, high-quality, resilient software systems
