Engineering Mentorship Program - Senior Engineers
A bespoke three-month program that helps software engineers with a structured, one-on-one growth plan.
Meetings take place every two weeks to work through real problems: code, architecture, career decisions, and the messy parts of shipping software on a team.
The focus is practical. You bring what you're working on, and you leave with sharper judgment and a clearer path forward.
Who it's for
Senior Engineers with 6-15 years of experience who want to grow deliberately rather than by accident.
What you walk away with
- Stronger technical judgment: how to weigh trade-offs, design systems that hold up, and know when good enough is good enough
- Faster, more useful code reviews, both giving and receiving
- A concrete career plan with the next two roles mapped out and the gaps named
- Better communication with non-engineers: writing proposals, explaining decisions, saying no well
- A working relationship with a senior engineer you can keep calling after the program ends
- Practice leading: running a small project, unblocking others, and owning outcomes instead of tasks
How it's structured
- Six one-hour sessions over three months, every two weeks, plus async access to your mentor in between
- The first session sets goals and a short roadmap; the last one reviews progress and plans what comes next
- Sessions are driven by your work: a pull request, a design doc, a hard conversation you need to have
- One focused improvement goal runs through the whole program so the three months add up to something
What I bring to the table
Over 25 years of experience building and managing software teams a Director of Engineering, VP of Engineering and CTO.
I mentored and coached engineers from Junior level to Staff level grow their career and get promoted in some of the largest tech companies: Delivery Hero, HelloFresh, and Deutsche Bank.
