Our career path as eng leaders can be nonlinear and present many unexpected twists, turns, and opportunities. This session with Zhichun Li and Jerry Li explores the career leap from engineering to business leadership. They’ll cover principles to navigating career decisions, translating engineering experience to ops/business, building a business unit from the ground up, and pitching ideas to executive leadership.

This session with Nidhi Gupta and Kenji Kiuchi will discuss how to build more inclusive hiring practices. They’ll share ideas on where to start, how to gain buy-in at the executive-level, and how to measure success. Plus simple ways to increase your candidate pool AND de-bias your hiring process, interview modules, and coding interview (especially when you’re resource constrained and your recruiting team also happens to be your engineering team…).

Broken data is costly, time-consuming, and nowadays, an all-too-common reality for even the most advanced data teams. In this talk, Barr will introduce this problem, called “data downtime” — periods of time when data is partial, erroneous, missing or otherwise inaccurate — and discuss how to eliminate it in your data ecosystem with end-to-end data observability.

Drawing corollaries to application observability in software engineering, data observability is a critical component of the modern DataOps workflow and the key to ensuring data trust at scale. Barr will share why data observability matters when it comes to building a better data quality strategy and highlight tactics you can use to address it today.
