The triad: Not just engineering

The role of product and design

A typical team at Atlassian looks like this:

• 15 engineers
• 1/2 product managers
• 1/2 designers
• 0/1 data scientist
• 1 engineering manager

Everyone has at least a basic understanding of product and design. 

The role of the designer is to represent the user experience in the development process.

The role of the product manager is to represent the business interests in the development process.

Is a product/design pathway for me?

• Do you like thinking more about how we'll solve a problem or what problem to solve?
• Do you spend time thinking about how a user interface looks and feels?
• Are you interested in how businesses think and operate?
• Do you like getting deep into data and using it to make decisions? 
• How much do you enjoy coding and solving technical problems?
