Sid Shaikh has a number for the sweet spot of an engineering team: 50 people. Beyond that, the management structures get complex. The communication slows. Getting things done gets harder. He also has a view on what leadership looks like now. The days of being just a manager are disappearing. Everyone needs an area of expertise. Everyone needs to be able to talk the language of the people they lead. You cannot lead engineers well if you cannot understand what they are building. The title is not enough. This matters for hiring too. When we work on a senior hardware search at Kodu, we are not just looking for someone who can manage. We are looking for someone who can do both, and who has done it before. If you are looking for technical leadership that can actually lead, our DMs are open. Search "Sid Shaikh Why Design" wherever you get your podcasts to hear the full story.

Sid Shaikh does not read CVs the way most people do. His view: it does not matter what list of code or CAD packages you have used. What matters is your outcomes. Your behaviours. How you respond when things get hard. He has been hiring this way for years, and it is the reason he has consistently built teams that last. The best engineers are not the ones with the longest tooling lists. They are the ones who stay curious when the problem changes, and who take ownership when it does not go to plan. This is exactly how Kodu approaches candidate assessment. We look at how someone thinks and decides, not just what they have shipped. It is why our 12-month retention sits at 97%. If you are hiring hardware engineers and want a shortlist of people who will actually stick, our DMs are open. Search "Sid Shaikh Why Design" wherever you get your podcasts to hear the full story.

Sid Shaikh spent years helping turn Ocado from an online grocer into a technology company. That transition meant one thing above everything else: building a team of engineers from scratch, and doing it at pace. It is one of the hardest things a leader in hardware and tech has to do. Not because engineers are hard to find. Because the wrong hire at the wrong moment costs you far more than a slow one. The brief is rarely just the brief. You are building a culture at the same time. At Kodu, we work with leaders going through exactly this. Whether you need to hire permanently or bring in senior contractors while you figure out what the team should look like, we can help. If you are mid-build and the team question is keeping you up at night, our DMs are open. Search "Sid Shaikh Why Design" wherever you get your podcasts to hear the full story.
