As tools for development have gotten better, the desired skills for engineers have moved from just pure knowing programming languages and frameworks (expected) to problem-solving abilities and people skills.

Being an engineering multiplier means being someone who amplifies the productivity and effectiveness of the engineers around them, not just focusing on their own output, but elevating the entire team and the organization.

It’s less about the tasks, but how big an impact you can create. And engineers who can create the biggest impact have the multiplier mindset.

Great engineers don’t just elevate their own output. Great engineers elevate everyone around them.
