Satya Nadella: LinkedIn Merged PM, Designer, and Engineering Roles into Full-Stack Builders
aakashgupta · x · 2026-08-09
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently shared that LinkedIn merged four distinct roles—product managers, designers, front-end engineers, and back-end engineers—into a single position: the full-stack builder.
Nadella explained that this shift adapts to a new AI product development workflow where the process now starts with evals. These full-stack builders manage the evaluations, while traditional systems engineers focus on backend infrastructure to support the science behind the product. The move highlights how major tech companies are fundamentally restructuring their R&D teams and workflows in response to AI.
