Karim Fanous - Engineering Management In The Age of AI

Our Guest: Karim Fanous is the Senior Vice President of Engineering at StrongDM, a cybersecurity company, and the writer behind Cumulative, a Substack focused on engineering management, building startups, and how AI is reshaping the craft of software. Episode Topics: -Why VPE is “people + product + processes” and how breakdowns show up as business problems (growth, quality, churn, GTM). -How “buggy processes” reveal themselves at the exec level through growth stalls, quality pain, churn, and GTM friction? -Executive interview questions that reveal whether an engineering leader can connect engineering to business reality. -The common scaling fallacy: doubling engineers does not double output. -“AI made us faster… not necessarily better”: how AI boosts strong engineers, but used carelessly amplifies technical debt. -Why human review won’t scale in an agent-driven world and why software will need machine verification to move at “GPU speed.”? -Engineering shifts toward architecture, integration, trade-offs, experiments, and validation. -The “10x engineer” debate in the AI era. -AI security risks: non-deterministic systems + autonomous actions require controls beyond RBAC. -Inside StrongDM’s approach on agents treated like coworkers with identities, visibility, and feedback that improves behavior.
