At Wrike, everyone’s voice matters—our Scrum teams (with FE, BE, QA, UI, UX, and a PO) are at the heart of decision-making.

We invest in our architecture, deploy daily with hardly any merge conflicts, and encourage backend engineers to change things up, work on technical improvements, and help shape product plans by sharing ideas with POs.
