Introduction
Explore key data engineering skills to operate at a Staff+ level, including telemetry, ETL vs ELT, streaming vs batch processing, and experiment design. Understand how to make data visible and actionable to influence product decisions and enhance your leadership impact.
We'll cover the following...
To reach Staff+, you have to be data-driven. The engineer who can design features and show measurable impact on user behavior is the person leadership listens to when roadmaps are on the table.
Here’s what you’ll need to know to get there:
Telemetry
ETL vs. ELT
Streaming vs. batch
Experiments
John knows how to wire telemetry, build a quick experiment, and back his arguments with real data. He keeps it all in his head, which means the team still argues in circles during planning. You, on the other hand, will make data visible, repeatable, and persuasive.
