What does a data engineer do at a quant firm?

Data engineering is where a surprising amount of alpha is protected or lost. Survivorship bias, look-ahead leakage, corporate-action handling and timestamp discipline are business risks, not tidiness concerns, so firms pay for engineers who treat correctness as the product.

What do data engineer interviews test?

Loops for this function usually probe python, sql, kdb+/q or arrow and airflow or equivalent. The firm guides below describe each loop stage by stage, and the practice bank has worked problems with full reasoning.
