Engineering isn’t just about building systems — it’s about building systems that work for everyone. That only happens when teams bring a wide range of perspectives into the room. For International Women in Engineering Day, CTO of Engineering Erran Berger and Shalini Agarwal shared powerful insights on why diverse engineering teams drive better architecture, better decision‑making, and ultimately better products.
At LinkedIn, we're driven by our mission to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. We take that commitment to 'every member' seriously. It's why we make sure that diverse thinking and perspectives go into the building of our products. For International Women in Engineering Day, I sat down with Shalini Agarwal, Sr Director of Engineering for Talent Marketplace and one of the leads for LinkedIn’s Women in Technology community. We dug into why diverse engineering teams aren’t just good for equity—they’re essential for any business seeking to build better, more human‑centered products. And we explored what inclusive management looks like in practice and how leaders can create environments where every engineer can thrive. #INWED
