10 Books Every Senior Engineer Should Read

Engineers are natural readers. They take enormous pleasure in learning about new things, and books are the perfect medium to cover complex ideas in depth.

I picked some of my favorite books at my company, Semaphore — books that have profoundly influenced the company’s engineering culture. This list contains a mixture of classic, timeless texts and a fair share of modern game-changing publications, aimed at senior engineers and devs. But you don’t have to be a senior engineer to benefit from the books on this list, anyone interested in software development would enrich their skillset by reading them.

We hope you enjoy reading this list as much as we enjoyed making it.
