A food company is a concept that is gaining popularity in the IT community. At the meetings, they discuss how to properly build processes and establish interaction so that the team shows cool results, speakers at conferences talk about improving communication methods between development and product managers. But they started talking about “food engineers” not so long ago. And if earlier, when talking about a “strong” engineer, they remembered about HighLoad and knowledge of patterns, but today more and more companies want to hire strong product engineers.
We decided to devote a series of mitaps to product development and invite you on November 21 to the first Product Engineering Meetup.
At the first meeting, the ManyChat team, together with invited speakers from Miro and Avito, will figure out who the product engineer is, how and why the engineer needs to develop product thinking, where to find a balance between product and development, what engineers are needed at different stages of the team’s development and what approaches and tools help develop engineers as a team.
Registration is available via the link , and details on speakers and the program of the event read under the cut.
