Insider tips on hiring staff & senior staff engineers (with Claudiu Andrei)

Engineering Leadership Excellence Podcast

In the fourth episode of Season 2, we sit down with Claudiu Andrei, Site Tech Lead at Productboard’s San Francisco office, who’s in the process of building up two new teams to better serve our enterprise customers. We talk to Claudiu about what he considers when hiring staff and senior staff engineers, and what makes a candidate CV stand out. He walks us through the key steps of our interview process and discusses how to make an early impact when joining a company as a staff engineer.

Claudiu, whose career path included stints at Meta and DocuSign as well as founding a couple of his own companies, also offers some sound advice for engineers looking to move up the ladder. We also explore how candidates can assess whether they are more of a staff or senior staff fit, and what it means to be a product engineer these days.
