Donβt underestimate less-experienced software engineers
Business is going well, and your engineering team is not a one-person army anymore. Instead, you have a couple of mid- or senior level devs on board. Now you need to grow a team to make your product even better. There is no better time to start hiring some less-experienced people.
This, of course, doesnβt always have to be true. Juniors probably wonβt help you much if you are in the first phase of building rocket ships or quantum mechanics algorithms to solve NP-complete problem. But the truth is that the majority of tech products are built on top of existing solutions, SDKs/libraries, APIs, or managed cloud platforms. And this is the perfect space for a dream-team of junior and senior software engineers collaborating.
Hiring juniors is a great strategic move β it doesnβt have anything with your budget, but with keeping your tech stack and engineering team a top-class.
