Data science version of this is highly required and must be asked with every company one is supposed to join.


I'm not familiar with that environment, but if you have specific questions - there's always space for more sections :-)


There are a bunch of questions that attempt to proxy how mature the data pipeline/data engineering is of the company you're looking at.

* Do you do batch and/or streaming computation?

* What kind of access do you have for querying/accessing the data this role will predominately be working using?

* Do you have dedicated data engineers and data infrastructure people

* What's your workflow orchestration engine?

* What is the data access pattern for historical data (there had better be at least SQL access here).

* Do you have built-in feedback loops for your machine learning products?

* What is your serialization format of record for production and for OLAP?

* How often do schemas change in your databases?
