The Hidden Curriculum: Techniques for Learning the Business
Vivint, 3401 Ashton Blvd, Lehi, UT, USThere's a hidden curriculum in every company: the unwritten knowledge that separates engineers who ship technically correct solutions from engineers who ship solutions that actually matter. This talk surfaces it. Starting from the product as your anchor point, you'll get concrete techniques for learning the business.

Recursion, 41 400 W, Salt Lake City, UT, USModern data pipelines often fail quietly: a schema drifts, a late CDC event lands out of order, a Spark job produces plausible but wrong output, or a model starts consuming stale features before anyone notices. This talk walks through a practical approach for turning those silent failures into explicit checks that run in CI/CD and production release gates. I’ll cover data contracts, CDC-aware validation, Spark and lakehouse testing patterns, and a few lessons from building reliable data systems where correctness has to be treated like a release requirement rather than a dashboard afterthought.
