Apply to join the definitive free, global learning community for senior engineering leaders
There are lots of engineering leadership communities, but Geeks Who Lead is:
-
Exclusive
Every member is personally vetted by Peter Bell, our Founder and CTO.
-
Senior
Every member is either a Staff+ IC or a Director+ on the management track.
-
Broad
Whether you want to discuss data, platform, security or plain old software engineering, we have experts and practitioners in the domain for you to engage with.
-
Focused
With niche, vetted private communities for groups like Startup CTOs and CTOs at Scale, there’s a unique opportunity to connect with your most similar peers – both in-person and online.
-
Learning Focused
While we all enjoy hanging out, the community is designed and organized to aggregate, synthesize and share wisdom so we can share our experiences and learn from our peers as efficiently as possible.
-
Curated
We actively engage with the community to help you to share your experiences, make new connections and get relevant feedback on your biggest business challenges.
-
Free
We will never charge engineering leaders for access to the core communities.
How are you keeping up?
Between the pandemic, the “year of efficiency” and more powerful developer tools (from Internal Developer Portals to LLMs), good practices for building and managing engineering orgs are changing more quickly than ever before.
The best way to keep up to date is to have access to an active and engaged community of your closest peers dedicated to sharing their experiences and learnings so we can learn together much more quickly than we could on our own.
Geeks Who Lead was designed to connect senior engineering leaders to help them to access a community of supportive, knowledgeable and experienced peers to share their toughest business challenges and to learn from their experiments.
Members get access to:
Playbooks and case studies aggregated from the community
Concierged answers to their toughest engineering leadership challenges
A network of experienced, capable engineering leaders to connect with and learn from

Online meetups providing access to top practitioners and authors – with Q&A and small group breakouts to apply the principles to the unique challenges of your specific org.
Domain expertise – with communities sharing their experiences related to hiring, culture, performance management, stakeholder management, platform, security, data and more.
Career support – We have a discrete transition group for executives either planning their next move or in-between roles.
Jobs – We aggregate senior executive roles that might be a fit for our members.
