Re:Role
It’s easy to be intimidated by a big title. It can be difficult to keep all the different tech roles straight. What does an architect do that’s different from a developer? What are the CTO and the VP of engineering responsible for? If you’re just starting in tech, what are the different career paths you could take? In this limited series, Compiler details the journey of a fictional startup finding its way from founding to exit. As they grow, they’ll need to hire new roles to meet the demands of a growing company. We’ll hear from a selection of key hires about what they do, how they fit into their organizations—and why they’re indispensable.
