Engineers Shouldn’t Write ETL: A Guide to Building a High Functioning Data Science Department

Jeff Magnusson's guide advocating for hybrid Thinker-Doer roles and autonomous data science teams

This groundbreaking guide challenges traditional data science department structures by proposing a radical model of "hybrid Thinker-Doers" that prioritizes autonomy and end-to-end ownership. Jeff Magnusson reveals how breaking down rigid roles between data scientists and engineers can unlock faster innovation, allowing teams to lead rather than merely inform business decisions. By emphasizing platform engineering that creates flexible "Lego blocks" for data scientists, the guide offers a transformative approach to building more dynamic and creative data science teams.
