Engineering Levels & Roles
Levels and Roles within Engineering are a means by which The Data Shed can define a Data Engineer's primary function within Engineering, both internally and to set client expectations.
Levels
Engineering levels at The Data Shed are a combination of experience, demonstrable ability and embodiment of The Data Shed's Values:
| Engineering Level | SFIA Level |
|---|---|
| Associate Data Engineer | Level 2 |
| Technical Operations Engineer | Level 2 |
| Data Engineer | Level 3 |
| Senior Data Engineer | Level 4 |
| Principal Data Engineer | Level 5 |
Progression
We define three different tracks within engineering function.
- Management Track - For positions with people management responsibly
- Engineering Track - This covers the majority of technical positions within the engineering function
- Operations Track - Covers positions within the support and operations team
Progression between the positions is represented below.
