12/18/2023 0 Comments Kara keep it podcast![]() ![]() Before I was working as an engineering manager, I was working as the head of operational delivery at a company, where I was taking care of the operational delivery of all the servers, but also focusing a lot on making sure that the people were prepared and that they knew what was coming up, that they had the information and that they were as organized or had everything that they could need in order to meet our goals.* Is it very common for dev teams to have that kind of support?Ī: This is a position that is going to gain more and more traction, because it really is a function that doesn't exist with the other titles. So basically unblocking the team, but more with the focus on the engineers themselves and their professional development. Q: There's been this emergence of middle roles, connecting roles similar to Product Management, which has always been this in-between, facilitating role of connecting teams.Ī: On the day to day, I'm working directly with a Product Manager with a view our current project or focus and taking that and checking in with the team to make sure that they have all of the things that they need, from making sure their laptop is currently up to date, to facilitating the interaction with the Product Manager if they currently don't understand the direction the product is going in. So the Engineering Manager is a position that appears to kind of tie all of these roles together with a focus on taking care of the team and making sure that they are supplied and unblocked in every possible way. And then you have the developers that just don't actually have any kind of support in terms of professional or personal growth. But for me, the origins of the Engineering Manager role come from the fact that you have a Product Manager that takes care of the product, a Scrum Master or Project Manager that takes care of the execution of the project, and then the Technical Lead, taking care of the technical development. I feel like Engineering Manager is one of those titles that changes depending on where you're at, in the same way Product/Project Manager doesn't mean the same thing at every single company. Q: So are you working as a dev on Wikimedia Deutschland?Ī: I am their Engineering Manager, which is one of these new fancy titles that have come out in what like the last three years. ![]() Early Career: Wikimedia Engineering Manager In this episode, she tells us about her experiences as Engineering Manager at Wikimedia Deutschland, giving a clear account of her transition from developer to Engineering Manager, her thoughts on different ways of learning about coding, and the important open-source mission the Wikimedia Foundation carries out. ![]() Kara Payne joins us once again to tell us about her career in Tech after participating in an Ironhack bootcamp in late 2020.

She talks about these experiences, being a woman and an entrepreneur in a male-dominated field, her advocacy for songwriters, her non-profit, Inspired Nation, which hosts singing competitions benefitting youth-focused charities, and her views on the relationship between technology and music creation, which she’s tackling head-on in a new app called Bridge which connects creators to create collaborators. Then on Fox, “Idol” was a ratings monster, but was starting to show some growing pains and DioGuardi, not knowing much about the show, admittedly stepped onto a stage she wasn’t entirely prepared for - even if she did strut across it in a bikini, live with 20 million people watching in 2010. 1 on Pop radio with the inescapable “ABCDEFU” by GAYLE, who’s signed to Atlantic via a partnership with Arthouse.ĭioGuardi stopped writing songs not long after her career took a turn in 2009 when she was hired to be a judge on “ American Idol” alongside original TV trio Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul. Arthouse has equity in tunes by Bruno Mars, Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Maroon 5, Justin Bieber, Halsey, Eminem and Florida Georgia Line, among many others.
