Top engineering voices to follow in 2025

What we’re looking for

Whose posts are you sharing on Slack? Whose newsletter actually gets opened? Who’s stirring up the kind of lunch chat that makes you say, "Huh, good point"?

We’re not measuring GitHub stars or follower counts (though hey, cool if you’ve got those). We’re more interested in engineers who:

• Get people talking (in a good way)
• Make you think differently about your day-to-day
• Share honest takes on what’s hard, not just what worked
• Bring their own perspective (not just what everyone else is saying)

Who can you nominate?

Anyone in engineering who’s active online and genuinely worth following. We’re not looking for daily thought leadership—but it should be someone who’s shown signs of life recently (no ghost accounts, please):

• Backend, frontend, infra, SREs, data engineers, security engineers—you name it
• From juniors sharing their learning journeys to CTOs shaping the future

Nominate yourself, a teammate, or that person whose posts you always end up bookmarking.

What happens next?

We’ll review submissions, select the winners, and spotlight the chosen voices on our blog, social media, and newsletter.

Final selections will be announced in July.

Nominate someone → share the love → help us spotlight those shaping the future of engineering.

What do winners get?

Winners will receive a dedicated blog post and social sharing on our network, their own digital badges, and special incident.io swag. 🔥
