What was your job as Director of engineering? Where you involved in the process of software development as well?

As Director of Engineering my main job was to remove blockers for the team, be the engineering manager, which means training, education, 1on1, performance reviews; as well keep an eye and lead the technology directorion.

I wasn’t getting enough time actually coding, if that did happen it was probably not a good thing, as director of engineering you should be involved on the software development process at a high level.
