An equal voice in product decisions: The Product Engineer
There is a tricky dynamic between Engineering, Design, and Product Management – the three amigos who all think they're the ultimate deciders of what the product is. Sound familiar to anyone? What about someone who's not just building the thing, but deeply understands it, uses it, and actively contributes to its direction, almost blurring the lines with a Product Manager. Meet The Product Engineer.

Wiz’s $32B GTM Playbook: Unpacking the Formula (Part I)
Wiz nailed their product-market fit (PMF) by creating a unified and easy-to-use platform that solved a real headache in cloud security.
