Choose the right perspective
Pick someone whose company stage and product type resemble yours, since a CTO at an early startup makes different tradeoffs than one running a large engineering organization. Ask whether they owned product engineering, infrastructure or both, and how closely they stayed involved in architecture.
Questions to take into the conversation

- 02How should engineering be organized as a team grows from a few dozen to several hundred engineers?
