Roundtable: AI Is Reshaping the Engineering Leader's Job: What's Actually Changing Day to Day?

A peer roundtable on leading when the bottleneck is no longer just engineering speed

June 24 | Online | Hosted by Jossie Haines, CEO/Founder @ Jossie Haines Consulting

AI is helping engineering teams prototype, write, and ship faster. But for leaders, that doesn’t automatically make the job simpler.

As execution speeds up, the harder questions move upstream: what needs more judgment, which rituals still matter, where quality or alignment can break down, and how leaders should spend their own time differently.

This roundtable is a candid peer discussion on how AI is changing the engineering leader’s day-to-day work, not just the team’s tools.

We’ll discuss

1. How are you personally using AI as a leader? For planning, writing, decision-making, technical exploration, or staying closer to the code.
2. What changes when teams move faster? Where new bottlenecks appear, which rituals no longer work, and what needs more leadership attention.
3. How is the role itself evolving? The conversations you’re having earlier, the focus areas that matter more now, and the leadership muscles AI is forcing you to build.
