Overview

Ready to level up your career? Join us to learn the essential data architecture skills to make that move into senior roles!

Mid-career data professionals often have years of experience — yet stepping into senior, lead, or architect-level roles in Australia feels harder than it should.


This is the reality for thousands of talented professionals: strong technical backgrounds, cloud certifications, hands-on engineering work…

but no architecture exposure, no enterprise-scale portfolio, unclear expectations, and low confidence presenting solutions.


This 60-minute webinar, hosted by Sandeep Bhalekar (CEO, GIofAI), breaks down the real capability gaps that prevent data professionals from progressing — and the structured, architecture-aligned pathway used by GIofAI learners to transition into senior roles in the Australian data landscape.


You’ll learn:


- Why limited architecture exposure stalls mid-career engineers

- The real skill gaps Australian employers look for in senior and architect roles

- How to build enterprise-grade architecture portfolios that demonstrate end-to-end design capability

- How cloud stacks like AWS, Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, and modern platform patterns factor into senior readiness

- Why mid-career professionals struggle to articulate design decisions — and how to fix it

- How to communicate architecture confidently to senior stakeholders

- The role-readiness expectations mapped to Australian industry standards


And most importantly:


The exact capability and architecture-readiness blueprint used by GIofAI learners to transition into roles like:


- Senior Data Engineer

- Data Architect

- Analytics/Platform Architect

- Cloud Data Engineer

- Lead Data Engineer


Exclusive bonuses for attendees:


- Early access to the Advanced Program in Data Engineering

- Complimentary 1:1 technical mentorship session with a senior data engineering expert

- 50% scholarship toward the program (webinar-only benefit)


If you’re a mid-career data professional in Australia aiming to break into senior, lead, or architect-level roles, this webinar is for you.
