BASIC FUNCTION

A Development Lead plays a crucial role in ensuring the successful delivery of software projects by combining technical expertise

with leadership and management skills to guide and support their team throughout the development lifecycle. They must

simultaneously be a developer by staying intimately involved in the technical work of their team, and a leader, helping to guide

team to realize their potential and further the organization’s goals. A Principal developer can be thought of as a bridge between an

engineering team and management. They are a very senior member of the team who can give technical guidance as well as

mentor developers on the team. As a manager, a dev lead needs to demonstrate leadership. They encourage their developers to

operate at their top potential and work together as a true team.

Development Leads may write code themselves, but much of their time will be used in conducting code reviews of components

being created by other developers. They ensure and manage day-to-day progress as their team tackles their assigned tasks. They

need to have a strong understanding of the overall business priorities for their team and need to be able to advocate for what their

team needs to do their job while also making sure their team delivers on what company management expects.
