The Shift

Why This Matters Now

Two years ago

  • • Juniors were hired to write boilerplate code
  • • Engineers waited for specs from PMs
  • • Coding speed = career growth

Today

  • • AI writes boilerplate faster than any human
  • • Companies expect engineers to decide what to build
  • • Owning outcomes = career growth

This program exists because the entry-level engineer role has already changed.

The Difference

What is a Product Engineer?

Traditional roles split thinking and execution. Product Managers plan. Engineers implement. That split is breaking.

Traditional Paths

Engineer

Waits for specs → writes code → hands off

Product Manager

Writes docs → depends on engineers → waits for delivery

Product Engineer

1

Spots a problem worth solving

2

Writes the spec themselves

3

Uses AI to build, test, and ship

4

Owns outcomes, not just tickets

What You'll Have

After 3 Months, You Will Have

2 Shipped Products

Real products with actual users (even if small). Not tutorials. Not clones.

1 End-to-End PRD

A complete Product Requirements Document written by you — the way real PMs do it.

AI-Assisted GitHub Repo

40-60% code is AI-assisted, but architected and owned by you. Shows you know how to leverage AI.

Your Interview Story

A compelling narrative you can confidently tell in any interview about what you built and why.

Not Just ChatGPT

How AI is Actually Used Here

This isn't "copy-paste from ChatGPT". AI becomes part of your daily engineering workflow.

1

Specs & PRDs

AI-assisted requirement writing and edge case discovery

2

Architecture

AI-driven trade-off exploration and system design

3

Coding

Scaffolding, refactoring, and iteration — not blind generation

4

Debugging

AI-guided reasoning to find and fix issues faster

5

Testing & QA

Test case generation and coverage analysis

Honest Warning

This Program is NOT for You If...

You're looking for pure DSA / LeetCode coaching

You want guaranteed placement without effort

You don't want to build and ship things weekly

You expect only recorded content with no live interaction

We'd rather you know upfront than waste your time.

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION

This is NOT a
Prompt Engineering Course

Prompt engineering is just one small tool. We're building complete professionals who can think, design, and ship real products — with or without AI.

Complete Skillset

Product thinking + Engineering + AI tools — not just prompts

Real Products

Build actual working products, not just chatbot demos

Job Ready

Skills that companies are actually hiring for today and tomorrow

"I've spent 11 years building products and hiring engineers. I've seen the industry before AI and after. Most courses teach tricks. This program teaches you to become the kind of professional that every company needs but few can find."

— Lead Instructor, sodiarc.ai

CTO with 11+ years at scale

The Shift

Why This School Exists

The tech industry is undergoing its biggest transformation in decades. Are you ready?

The Problem

  • Coding bootcamps teach syntax, not how to build real products
  • PM courses focus on strategy without hands-on execution
  • AI courses only teach prompts, not complete product development
  • Routine coding jobs are being automated — fast

Our Solution

  • Learn product thinking — understand what to build and why
  • Build real products end-to-end using AI as your co-pilot
  • Develop judgment and decision-making AI can't replicate
  • Graduate with a portfolio that proves your capabilities

The New Reality of Tech Teams

The way products get built is fundamentally changing

Earlier
PM → Architect → Backend → Frontend → QA

5+ people for one feature, weeks of coordination

Now
2-3 Product Engineers + AI Tools

Ship end-to-end, faster than ever before

Companies want 2-3 strong people who can use AI tools to ship end-to-end — not large teams of specialists.

What Companies Actually Want in 2025

User Understanding

Know what to build, who needs it, and why it matters

Product Judgment

Make decisions AI can't — prioritization, trade-offs, vision

AI-Augmented Speed

Ship 10x faster using AI tools effectively

Traditional education isn't keeping up. We built this program to fill the gap.

The industry needs professionals who can think, decide, and build. That's what we create.

Somsankar Naskar - Founder, Product Engineer Course Instructor at Sodiarc

Som Sankar Naskar

Lead Instructor, Sodiarc

Why Sodiarc Exists

I've spent years building products with engineers, product managers, and business teams.

One thing has become very clear in the last two years.

AI didn't just make coding faster. It changed what companies actually expect from engineers.

Writing code is no longer the hard part. Understanding the problem, choosing the right solution, and owning the outcome is.

Yet most learning paths are still stuck in old roles:

  • Engineers are trained to wait for specs
  • PMs are trained to write documents and depend on others

In the real world, especially in startups and small teams, this separation doesn't work anymore.

The people who move fastest today are those who understand users and constraints, write clear specs, use AI to build and iterate quickly, and take responsibility for what ships.

I call this role a Product Engineer.

Sodiarc exists to train this way of thinking and building. Not through lectures or certificates, but through real problems, real trade-offs, and real products shipped end-to-end.

This is not a mass program. It's not for everyone. And it won't promise shortcuts.

It's for people who want to stay relevant, think clearly, and build things that actually matter in an AI-driven world.

If that excites you, you'll fit in here.

Industry Insights

The Shift Is Real

Thoughts on what's changing in tech and why it matters for your career

The Uncomfortable Truth

Most junior engineers are training for a job that no longer exists.

AI already writes boilerplate. It scaffolds APIs. It explains errors better than most seniors did 5 years ago.

But companies are still hiring. Just not for people who only execute tasks.

They're hiring people who can understand the problem, decide what matters, and build end-to-end.

The False Divide

PM vs Engineer is an outdated split.

Today specs are written faster, code is generated faster, iteration cycles are shorter. What's slow now is decision-making.

The people who move fastest can think through the problem, write a clear spec, use AI to build, and own the result.

They don't wait for tickets. They don't hide behind roles. They build.

The Raised Bar

AI didn't reduce skill — it raised the bar.

Execution is easier. Thinking is harder.

When AI can generate 50% of the code, your value is no longer in typing. It's in choosing the right approach, spotting bad assumptions, knowing when not to build.

The engineers who struggle won't be the worst coders — they'll be the ones who never learned to think in systems and outcomes.

Career Advice

If you're 0–3 years in, stop optimizing for the wrong things.

More languages, frameworks, certificates

Understanding users, writing clear specs, building small things end-to-end, explaining why you built something

These skills compound. Tools don't. The earlier you shift your focus, the harder you'll be to replace.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding experience?

No advanced coding background required. Basic computer familiarity and willingness to learn is enough. We'll teach you how to use AI to build, not memorize syntax.

How is this different from other bootcamps?

Most bootcamps focus on teaching you to code. We focus on teaching you to think—then use AI to build. You'll learn product thinking, problem framing, writing specs, and shipping end-to-end. The coding part is AI-assisted. This is the skill companies actually need in 2025.

Is this online or offline?

The program is primarily online with live sessions. However, we host occasional in-person meetups and workshops at our Bangalore studio for those who can attend. The core learning experience works fully online.

What's the time commitment?

Live sessions are 2 days per week (weekends). Expect to spend 15-20 hours weekly including assignments and project work. The program runs for 3 months. It's intense but designed for working professionals.

Can I do this while working a full-time job?

Yes, but it requires commitment. Live sessions are on weekends. You'll need to dedicate evenings and weekends to assignments and projects. Many working professionals have done similar programs—it's challenging but doable if you're serious.

What if I miss a live session?

All sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours. However, we strongly encourage live attendance—the real learning happens in discussions, Q&A, and peer interactions that recordings can't fully capture.

What tools or software do I need?

A laptop with stable internet. We'll guide you through setting up all necessary tools (VS Code, GitHub, etc.). We provide Claude Pro access free for all students until graduation—no additional AI tool subscriptions needed during the program.

What's the selection process?

We keep cohorts small (10-15 students) to ensure quality. After you join the working sessions, you'll experience our teaching style firsthand. If it's a good fit, we'll have a brief conversation to understand your goals and ensure alignment. We're selective because small cohorts work better.

Is there an EMI or payment plan option?

Yes, we offer flexible payment options including EMI through partner financing. Reach out to us after the working sessions and we'll work out a plan that works for you.

Do you provide placement assistance?

Yes, 100% placement assistance. This includes resume reviews, interview prep, portfolio building, and connecting you with our hiring network. We don't guarantee jobs—that depends on you—but we'll do everything to make you ready and visible to the right companies.

What happens after the program ends?

You get lifetime access to the community, recordings, and future updates. Alumni can join mentor sessions, collaborate on projects, and stay connected with the cohort. The learning doesn't stop at graduation.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes, you'll receive a certificate of completion. But honestly, the real credential is your portfolio—2-3 shipped products that you can demo to employers. That speaks louder than any certificate.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes. The 2 working sessions are completely no-commitment—see if it's right for you. After enrollment, we offer a full refund within the first 2 weeks if you're not satisfied. We want students who genuinely want to be here.

I'm not from a tech background. Can I still join?

It depends. If you're curious, analytical, and willing to put in the work—yes. We've seen people from non-tech backgrounds thrive because product thinking isn't about knowing code, it's about understanding problems. Attend the working sessions to see if it clicks for you.
