Beyond code: Becoming a Product Engineer

Vidéo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCD9P7dck7c

Dans beaucoup d’équipes tech, les développeurs sont cantonnés à un rôle d’exécutants : on leur assigne des tickets, ils livrent du code. Mais les meilleurs produits ne naissent pas dans les specs figées. Ils émergent d’équipes où les développeurs pensent avec le produit, pas seulement pour le produit.

Dans ce talk, je vous propose de découvrir la posture du Product Engineer : un développeur qui ne se contente pas de coder, mais qui s’implique dans la compréhension des besoins utilisateurs, dans les choix de conception, et dans l’amélioration continue du produit. On verra ensemble comment adopter cette posture sans changer de métier ni de fiche de poste, simplement en changeant d’état d’esprit.

Que vous soyez développeur senior ou en pleine progression, ce talk vous donnera des idées concrètes pour élargir votre rôle, gagner en impact, et transformer la dynamique produit de votre équipe.
