Sundowner Sessions: The Changing Role of Engineering Teams in the Age of AI
This summer, Industrious Beam and TechMiners are teaming up for the second edition of our exclusive rooftop event series, connecting the brightest minds in the Berlin tech ecosystem.
Join us for edition two as we build systems that compound, not just ship fast: The Changing Role of Engineering Teams in the Age of AI.
AI is changing more than how quickly engineers write code. It is changing what engineering teams spend their time on, where technical judgment matters most, and what it means to be a strong engineer or tech lead.
If AI can increasingly write, review, and even ship code, what is left for the engineering team to own? Which skills and responsibilities become more important, and what happens to the shape of teams when one engineer can suddenly do the work that used to require several?
Armin Ayatollahi and Kamyar Paykhan, one leading the engineering behind our platform, the other leading tech due diligence for our clients, will share what they're seeing on the ground, followed by an open discussion.
