There are many projects where design, front-end (including mobile apps), and back-end are all done in-house, so you can experience working with engineers and designers outside of your domain of expertise.

Since there are many new developments, you can also gain experience in developing a product from scratch as a key player by building a team in cooperation with the PM and selecting technologies together with the members of the team.
