Software Company Org Chart Template

Software companies usually grow engineering first and everything else later. The result is a chart where fifteen engineers report to one CTO and nobody owns QA, releases or customer escalations. A clear structure groups engineers under team leads and gives product, sales and support their own owners.

Software Company org chart FAQs

What is the typical structure of an IT company?

CEO, then a CTO or delivery head leading engineering and QA, a product or project management function, sales and business development, customer success or support, and HR, finance and admin.

Should QA report to engineering?

In small teams QA usually reports to the CTO or engineering manager. As the company grows, a separate QA lead with authority to block releases works better.

What is the difference between an engineering manager and a tech lead?

An engineering manager is responsible for people - hiring, growth and delivery. A tech lead is responsible for technical direction and code quality, and often still writes code.
