What qualifications strengthen an Engineering Manager's sponsorship case?
A CS or software engineering degree is required. Prior individual contributor engineering experience demonstrates technical depth. Experience managing teams of 5+ engineers with demonstrated shipping velocity, retention, and technical quality differentiates you from non-technical managers.
