Software Engineers build software with a focus on the elegance of the code, performant algorithms, modularity, reusability, etc. Their main focus is on quality code and builds all the features/requirements around quality code.

A product Engineer is someone who cares about all the above but his focus is from the Product or User perspective. In spite of doing everything a Software Developer does, the Product engineer chooses tools/algorithms/methods that will make the product better and user happy

- In Sync with other teams/devs
- All possibility of changes to the feature
- Technical hacks/small tweaks required to not compromise on feature
Things that can help you to decide the above factors include:
- A/B testing
- Understanding Basic UX
- E2E Product knowledge

- Business objectives
- Metrics & other previous data.
End of the day,everything built is Business. Even if its a software, it's a product for other developers. So,it's very important to know the data, the requirements, the expectations, and then decide on the technical aspects

Product Engineer = 10% UX + 20% Product + 70% Software developer.
