We do a lot of orchestration of closed environments, so that we can access critical data without worry of leaks. We use Spark and Scala for most of our applications, with step functions and custom EC2 instances to host our environments. This way, we build verticals that can scale with the amount of data we process.

If I'm perfectly honest, I don't know how smart a move it is, considering our org just went through layoffs. We're popular right now, but who knows how long for.

It can be interesting at times, but to be honest if I were really interested in it, I would go back and get my PhD so I could actually contribute. Sometimes, it feels like SWE's are support roles, and science managers only really care that we are unblocking scientists from their work. They rarely give a shit if we release anything cool.
