Scientists have increasingly become a part of many product teams, bringing many new skills to the table. This has been especially true in our augmented reality (AR) products, with our core computer vision pipelines being entirely researcher-led. With new opportunities comes new challenges, and we have had to adapt many of our SRE and product engineering practices to ensure everyone feels productive and supported. This talk shares the lessons we have learned in building a healthy and happy product team in a researcher-first environment.
