Engineering leadership for the agentic age

Taxonomy/Talent

Hiring in the agentic era

Hiring in the agentic era is adapting engineering recruiting and leveling for a world where a meaningful share of code is agent-written. It means re-weighting interviews toward judgment, review, and system design over raw output speed, and rethinking what a junior engineer's first two years should teach.

Common questions

Do we still need junior engineers?

Yes, but their first year looks different: more time spent reviewing and directing agent output, less time spent on rote implementation.
