What we’re about
The #JCTechMeetup is where Jersey City’s innovators, creators, and doers come together — online and in person — to share what’s new and what’s next in tech, business, and culture.
We spotlight local founders, emerging tech, can’t-miss events, and creative voices shaping the future of our city. Everyone’s welcome — no code required.

There's a shift happening: engineers who talk to users, own outcomes, and ship products people actually want. They're called product engineers, and they're building the products that win. Here's the uncomfortable truth: Most developers spend their time optimizing for technical perfection while users abandon their products. Meanwhile, a new breed of engineer is emerging—one that ships fast, talks to customers, and aims to actually move the needle.
Who this event is for:- Product managers working closely with engineering teams
- Software developers who want to own products, not just features
- Technical founders building their first product
- Engineering leaders focused on user outcomes
What you’ll walk away with:
- Why "customer obsession" beats "clean code" every single time
- How companies are rewriting engineering culture around user impact
- How to identify what products people actually want
- The playbook for shipping fast without breaking everything
Technical perfection versus user obsession. Most successful products need both. Join us to learn how leading software companies in Jersey City are accomplishing this.
