Tech Teams Today episodes

  • Built In A Weekend? How 3 Leaders Answer Rising AI Expectations

    Joining the studio for this episode of Tech Teams Today are three distinguished engineering executives navigating the rapid evolution of software development:

    • Kyle Crum, VP of Engineering at Reverb leading a 50-person engineering team
    • Karl Jackson, Leader of AI Accelerated Software Engineering at CDW overseeing roughly 200 engineers
    • Dom Scandinaro, CTO at Cameo who oversees 20 engineering and data professionals.


    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

    • Open-Book AI Interviews: Why treating AI like modern Stack Overflow by letting candidates use their own tools and coding assistants provides a clearer view of their true thought process and resourcefulness.
    • Detecting Interview "Cheating" vs. AI Speak: How experienced managers filter out robotic "Claude language" and probe candidate responses to differentiate real problem-solving from transcribed feeds.
    • The Evolving Role of Junior Engineers: Why junior hiring dipped in favor of senior talent, and how entry-level roles are re-emerging around automation engineering and rapid tool experimentation.
    • Shifting Mentorship Out of the Pull Request: How the traditional PR code review process is losing its place as the core apprenticeship ground as agents flood repositories.
    • Scavenging Code vs. Root-Cause Analysis: Why AI agents naturally default to surface-level patches (like null checks) and how human engineers must step in to diagnose systemic architectural causes.
    • "Automation Engineers" as Internal GTM Force Multipliers: How Cameo scaled an automation engineering function from 1 to 3 engineers to build internal agents that scrape repetitive tasks off go-to-market teams.
    • Managing Enterprise "Expectation Inflation": How to educate boards and executives that vibe coding a prototype over the weekend is worlds apart from production-grade engineering rigor.
    • The "Slow Down to Speed Up" Modernization Pivot: How Cameo rewrote a 10-year-old codebase in two months using Claude to standardize engineering patterns and unlock faster future AI-assisted development.
    • Combating the "Slop Cannon" and Content Explosion: Why leaders are enforcing the "AIDR" (AI Didn't Read) mindset to stop employees from dumping verbose, unedited 12-page LLM outputs on colleagues.
    • Building Engineering "Playgrounds": Using experimental hackathons, lunch-and-learns, and open Slack channels ("AI Avengers") to harvest innovation organic to team curiosity.
    • The Limits of Feature Velocity: Why generating software faster exposes downstream go-to-market bottlenecks in product adoption, support readiness, and customer communication.
    • Career Advice for Rising Engineering Leaders: Why skipping straight to architecture as a core skill pillar, and treating AI tools respectfully without bypassing cross-functional domain experts, is key to advancing.

  • CTO @ Provation | Building an AI Software Factory in Healthtech

    Paul Snider is the Chief Technology Officer at Provation, where he leads engineering and DevOps teams whose products handle clinical documentation across 3,000 hospitals for roughly 50,000 clinicians.

    Under his leadership, Provation has automated its software delivery pipeline while rapidly expanding its engineering base, including scaling an international office in Bangalore from 9 to 50 associates in just nine months.

    While many technology leaders view automated software pipelines as a mechanism to trim headcount or fear high agent usage costs, Paul treats autonomous software factories as a growth lever to expand human teams and run 24/7 pipelines.

    We discuss:

    • Navigating the AI Maturity Curve: How to transition your team from basic approved tools to integrated knowledge workflows, shared context harnesses, and autonomous SDLC orchestration.
    • Building a 24/7 Software Factory: How Provation routes Jira tickets through autonomous agents covering requirements, design, code, QA, and security to produce complete pull requests.
    • Removing the "Dishes" from Engineering: Why engineering leadership must focus on getting colleagues to work at the top of their license by offloading tedious toil to AI.
    • Autonomous Incident Investigation: How marrying DevOps SRE agents with developer workflows allows AI to investigate outages and suggest remediations before a human opens the incident.
    • Smart "Human-in-the-Loop" Escalations: Why pausing pipelines at the requirements stage for product manager review prevents PR review bottlenecks downstream.
    • Automated Compliance & Evidence Gathering: How regulated healthcare teams leverage AI to auto-generate test matrices, evidence trails, and security checks for every release.
    • Tackling Legacy Tech Debt: How AI agents pick up defined code patterns to collapse multi-year tech debt backlogs in a fraction of the time.
    • Intra-Procedure Healthcare AI: How Provation enables clinicians to document complex medical procedures using hands-free AI voice interactions during live operations.
    • Slashing AI Consumption Costs by 90%: How instrumenting OpenTelemetry enabled Provation to safely navigate GitHub's shift to consumption-based billing.
    • Scaling an AI Champion Network: How cross-functional AI enablement offices, weekly win bulletins, and office hours drive adoption across finance, sales, and customer success.
    • Managing Tech Change Curves: How to guide skeptical engineers through technological shifts using cultural safety, quick wins, and historical perspective.

  • CEO @ Webflow | Preventing Burnout When AI Won’t Slow Down

    Linda Tong is the CEO of Webflow, where she's turning a website builder into an agentic marketing platform while the tools change under her every month.

    Linda is refreshingly open about what this pace costs. She wakes up most mornings with an overwhelming fear of being behind, and she's working out how to keep her team from feeling the same way.

    We discuss:

    1. Why there was no single "go AI-first" moment at Webflow, just a constant barrage of them
    2. The rule behind Webflow's bias for action: decisions belong with the person closest to the problem
    3. The 2 traits Linda hires for now: curiosity and resilience
    4. The early-morning fear of being behind, and how she keeps it from spreading to her team
    5. Refresh days and builder days: forcing time to recover and time to learn
    6. Why good leaders say no to good ideas, and how to test a candidate's judgment by asking "why" 5 times
    7. Project Assassin, and why deprecating a feature is 10x harder than building one
    8. How 4 people got 4 different ARR numbers from AI, and the year of data work that fixed it
    9. Her "every person is a different board game" model for leading a team
    10. How falling from grace early in her career wiped out her ego and changed how she leads

  • CTO @ CircleCI | Why He Is Still Hiring Juniors When Everyone Else Stopped

    Rob Zuber has been CTO at CircleCI for just over 12 years. He came in through an acquisition, shipped a PR that took down production in his first week, and now runs an engineering org of a little over 100 people while still writing code most days on a small team inside it.

    He's also doing something almost nobody else is doing right now: hiring junior engineers on purpose, through a program built specifically for new grads. A year ago he was saying the opposite in public, and he'll tell you exactly where to find the receipts.

    We got into what changed, what breaks when half your org adopts agents and half doesn't, and the one question Rob thinks separates the companies pulling ahead from everyone else.

    What you'll learn:

    • Why Rob restarted junior hiring while the rest of the market stopped, and what the program actually looks like
    • The reason this moment is a leveler, and why "I don't know, let's figure it out" beats "come along little one, let me teach you"
    • How Rob interviews for comfort with the unknown, and the specific follow-up that makes a rehearsed answer fall apart
    • The email from a stranger that changed how he talks about failure across cultures
    • Reframing bets and hypotheses so a team stops guarding against being wrong
    • The real friction in AI adoption: not tooling, but one engineer deciding another one is reckless
    • Why Rob stopped deleting the agent's extraneous comments
    • Readable for humans versus readable for agents, and why he thinks great agent-readable code is something we'll discover rather than design
    • The ambiguity gap, and the 2 choices you have when your team can't absorb more change
    • Why nobody is managing your ability to handle the next level, and what that means if you're aiming at the CTO seat

  • EVP of AI @ DonerColle | HowTo Transform A Creative Agency With AI

    Doug Guttenberg owns AI transformation at DonerColle Partners, a creative agency, and he's never been a developer. Since early 2024, he's built a team of about 15 engineers and creative technologists, and most of them came out of an internal skunkworks he started with a small monthly budget.

    Doug and Josh get into how that task force turned into a real team, the one rule that kept it from becoming a string of cool demos, why juniors aren't ahead of seniors on AI yet, and why the cost of switching models is mostly in our heads. Doug also shares the 2 things he hires for.

  • VP @ REPAY | The AI in Payments Playbook: Accuracy, Human Review, and Guardrails

    Kish Khemani runs AI architecture for B2B payments at REPAY, and he's been leading engineering teams since his first job in 1993, building a C++ compiler at a Silicon Valley startup.

    His current team is roughly 20 people across the US, South America, and India, and he's kept it as 1 team on purpose. He explains why the pizza rule failed him at a previous company, why 3 teams of 6 turned into 2 teams of 9, and why it takes about 3 months to know if a structure is working.

    The bigger part of the conversation is about what AI is doing to the way his team learns. Every check-in requires at least 2 peer reviews. The reviews still happen. But something in them has quietly changed.

    Also covered: daytime and nighttime crews, why offshore contractors won't tell you the deadline is wrong until the week before, and how you run AI agents inside a payments platform when a single logic error costs millions.

    About Our Guest:

    Kish Khemani is VP of AI Architecture for B2B Payments at REPAY. He's led distributed engineering teams for 30+ years, starting in 1993 on a C++ compiler, and now runs AI architecture inside a payments platform. Connect with Kish on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kishkhemani/

  • Recruiting Leader @ Zapier | "It's Not Bots Versus Bots." What's Actually Breaking Hiring in 2026

    Every hiring process at Zapier now includes an AI fluency assessment. Candidates are encouraged to use AI in technical work. And a human still reviews every single application that moves forward.

    Bonnie Dilber runs recruiting at one of the most AI-forward companies operating today. Josh sat down with her to work through what's actually changed in hiring, and what hasn't.

    The answers are messier than the headlines. Deepfaked candidates showing up in remote interviews. Automated application tools that trip the same fraud alerts as real scammers. Teams getting leaner at the top and thinner at the bottom, with career ladders that no longer describe how growth works. And underneath all of it, a supply problem that no amount of tooling fixes.

    Bonnie also gets specific about the things a VP controls directly: what separates hiring managers who get great outcomes from ones who throw a job description over the wall, how to test for comfort with ambiguity when it isn't on a resume, how to break a split panel decision, and what to say to an interviewer who gets overruled and takes it personally.

    About Our Guest:

    Bonnie Dilber is a recruiting leader at Zapier, the fully remote automation company. She hires across business teams at one of the most AI-forward companies in tech, and writes about hiring and the job market for a large following on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bonnie-dilber/

  • SVP of People @ Kalkomey | 60% Of Your Applicants Aren't Real People

    Every resume looks great now. That's the problem.

    Sam Baber runs people operations at a 100-person distributed company, and somewhere between 40 and 60 percent of the applications hitting his team's inbox are machine-generated noise.

    Then it got worse. One candidate made it to a second-round interview wearing what looked like two headsets, sitting in front of a fake background, and refused to show his hands on camera. Another group forged signed offer letters with real titles and salaries and emailed the company asking where their laptops were. That one ended with a call to the FBI.

    So Sam's team gave up blind phone screens, a bias safeguard they'd defended for years, and now runs video from the very first call.

    Josh and Sam get into what this means for engineering leaders who are hiring right now: how you verify a person is a person, why they rewrote every single job description in the company from scratch, whether Meta's 1-to-50 manager ratio experiment holds up, and what great hiring managers do that average ones don't.

    Sam's answer on that last one is blunt. Invest in the front end. Block your calendars. And stop dragging candidates through your own indecision.

    About Our Guest:

    Sam Baber leads people operations at Kalkomey, a 30-year-old outdoor safety education company with roughly 100 employees spread across two dozen US states and two Canadian provinces. His team covers talent acquisition, learning and development, and the operational side of the people function.

    He's spent 30 years in HR and talent, including stretches at a Fortune 100 company and 25 years across tech. He taught college English before that, which shows up in how he thinks about job descriptions, prompt writing, and why the words a leader chooses in a hiring debrief matter more than they think.

  • Chief Data Officer @ Surescripts | You Can Predict It. Should You? Data Ethics At Scale

    Lynne Nowak practiced internal medicine for nearly 15 years before an unexpected reorg handed her a team of data scientists and PhD researchers. Her first reaction: why would you give the data team to someone who isn't a data person?

    Her boss's answer changed how she thought about leadership. You don't have to write the SQL. You have to ask the right questions, hire people smarter than you, and build a culture where problems surface early.

    Josh and Lynne get into the structure of her 3-part data org at Surescripts, the Analytics Business Partner role she built to translate between business and data teams, why "new prescription" is a surprisingly complicated phrase, and the opioid prediction model that taught her the difference between "can we" and "should we."

    They close on AI governance in healthcare, why she treats AI like a really good intern, and the parenting philosophy that shaped her leadership style.

    About Our Guest:

    Lynne Nowak leads data and analytics at Surescripts. A practicing physician for nearly 15 years before moving into health technology, she now runs teams spanning data platform, analytics, and data products, with a leadership philosophy built on hiring people smarter than her and asking "should we" before "can we."

  • Sr VP @ Dynamic Aviation | From F-22 Flight Tests to Leading Tech Teams

    Molly Mae Potter's path to tech leadership started with a 4-year-old's plan to become an astronaut. It ran through Embry-Riddle, a NASA internship, and testing F-22s as an Air Force flight test engineer before a Dell hiring manager bet on a resume nobody else would pick up.

    Now, as Senior VP of Technology, Engineering and Programs at Dynamic Aviation, she hires the way she was hired: for intellectual curiosity, diversity of experience, and whether she'd want to be stuck on a 15-hour flight with you.

    In this episode, Molly Mae and Josh dig into how to actually hire for potential when recruiters want checkboxes, why "no one's an expert" is the most useful phrase in an AI-era hiring conversation, the crown-jewels framework for deciding what your org stops doing, and the leadership table moment that made her walk away from a Fortune 100 seat.

    About Our Guest:Molly Mae Potter is Senior VP of Technology, Engineering and Programs at Dynamic Aviation. A former Air Force flight test engineer on the F-22, she spent nearly a decade at Dell, led security and compliance for HPE GreenLake, and founded the consulting firm Salem CISO.
