Ask HN: Where can I find resources/advice on growing an engineering team?

1 pointsby mariusz331over 10 years ago
Background: We are a funded startup with 4 engineers (15 employees) and I&#x27;m one of the technical founders. We have a large application and an important piece of it supports our on-the-ground team, so we&#x27;re anticipating lots of pressure when we launch outside of San Francisco and begin scaling. We&#x27;ve been at it for a year so far and have a solid grasp on our product and user.<p>Some of the things on my mind are:<p>1. Prioritizing, organizing and distributing work in a way that makes engineers happy and motivated. The process we have now is okay, but I can&#x27;t see it working if we had 10 engineers.<p>2. Define and maintain good (mainly consistent) code quality so new engineers can easily adapt and begin contributing quicker.<p>3. Implementing good processes for attracting, hiring, and onboarding engineers. Onboarding may involve documenting important business logic.<p>Any resources&#x2F;advice would be helpful! I&#x27;d love to know how these things are done at growing tech companies. Any advice in general on growing an engineering team is a appreciated!
