Q&A

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s.

Teamwork is part of your everyday life as a data engineer. Daily meetings, workshops with product owners, collaboration with fellow data  engineers… You share use cases, ideas, and tools.

Emmanuel, Data engineer at Orange: 
"This morning, I led a workshop on a project with my colleague, the product  owner. We prepared concrete cases using photos of telecom equipment to  identify defects. The business lead the field technician, helps us interpret the situations. 

Later, a fellow data engineer asked me for help getting the Locust tool to work: it’s a Python load testing library."

Meetings, calls, and presentations are short, focused, and useful.  Teams calls, business workshops, syncs with data scientists: every exchange  moves the project forward. You gain clarity.

Emmanuel, Data engineer at Orange:
"It’s time for the daily meeting on the augmented field operations project. We  share our work from yesterday and assign tasks for the day. We are a small  team of seven. Since we are not all on the same site, the meeting takes place  on Teams."

Python, Google Cloud, automated testing, monitoring tools: these are your tools. You work on data flows. You code. You test. You deploy. At Orange, data processing is a vast playground.

Emmanuel, Data engineer at Orange:
"Starting my day, I check emails. Did the processes I work on run correctly  last night? I run queries to verify everything. 

Later in the afternoon, I code features to industrialise a model prepared by a  colleague, the data scientist. My role is to build a computing solution from  raw analysis of AI-processed equipment photos. I write automated tests to make sure my code works as expected in all scenarios. I prepare the integration of my code to run on Google Cloud, the platform hosting our application."
