AI is upending traditional hierarchies in engineering teams. In this episode of Tech Teams Today, we sit down with Robert Egglestone, SVP of Engineering at Trilogy, to explore why junior to mid-level engineers leveraging AI often outperform seasoned seniors, what this shift reveals about hiring and leadership, and how engineering leaders can adapt.
The conversation dives into the move from writing code to orchestrating AI agents, the danger of over-relying on ceremonies instead of focusing on outcomes, how to raise the hiring bar without slowing down growth, and the new skills leaders need in an AI-driven environment.
Packed with actionable insights for anyone leading (or aspiring to lead) modern engineering teams, this episode is a must-listen for staying competitive in the age of AI.
