Maria Gutierrez is the VP of Engineering for Strategy and Operations at Twitter. She joins a special livestream of the Dev Interrupted podcast to share her career journey, her strategies for sustainably scaling engineering teams, and the three pillars of engineering processes. Maria has also been working and managing engineering teams remotely for over a decade and offers a great deal of practical advice for team leads everywhere.

In a first for the Dev Interrupted podcast, this episode was recorded live during our virtual engineering leadership conference INTERACT. Maria was a fantastic guest, sticking around after her interview with Dan to take questions from the audience. Her lessons on team management, building company culture, hiring, and mentorship are not to be missed. 

Twitter is hiring: Check out their open positions.
