Product Builder missions

A Product Builder works in collaboration with the Product and Tech teams within a company. In his or her field of expertise, the Product Builder's mission is to detect and address user problems, whether internal or external, by developing high-performance solutions using NoCode tools. Unlike a NoCode Maker, a Product Builder's role is not limited to development; he or she also embraces product-related responsibilities specific to his or her position.

The Product Builder has two major roles:

- A product-focused role, with responsibility for the Research & Discovery stages. This enables him to identify problems, establish functionalities and prioritize tasks.

- A Development-oriented role, entrusting him with the Design & Deployment stages. He is responsible for the design, implementation, launch and ongoing adjustments of his projects, using NoCode technologies.

Training to become a Product Builder

To become a Product Builder, it's essential to master both Product-related skills and one or more NoCode technologies.

There are several ways to learn the essential skills of a Product Builder:

• Train in Product AND NoCode skills in parallel via an intensive Bootcamp dedicated to Product Builder training (likeÉcole Cube).
• Take specific Product Management training AND specific NoCode development training.

Finally, it's essential to build up a professional network as early as possible, and join communities of active Product Builders. This network will open doors for you to identify career opportunities and corporate missions. The challenges are many and exciting!
