The Invisible Engineer

Unseen, until everything breaks.

You’ve never met them.

But they’re the reason your report ran this morning.

They don’t present at Town Halls. They don’t write strategy decks. They fix the silent stuff.

The Jenkins job that broke last week? They patched it. The retry logic that kept your SLA intact? They built it.

The invisible engineer is the difference between chaos and flow.

They don’t ask for credit. But they deserve all of it.

If your delivery depends on someone behind the curtain...tell them. Show them. Shout their name louder.

Because invisibility isn’t a compliment.

It’s a leadership failure.
