Since the data is not under your control -- it belongs to the "real" engineering team, which has vastly greater status -- you will not be able to. You will complain and they will ignore you. You will offer to help and they will refuse. You will open a PR and they will reject it.

I’m dealing with the opposite experience right now. I work at a big tech company and lately we’ve been working closely with a data science team. I’m desperate for some guidance on what sort of data pipeline and practices we can set up for them and have a hard time getting back anything but “can you export some rows as a csv”. Which is actually easier said than done considering data compliance policies and what not. Maybe there’s a good reason but it gets a bit frustrating and I can’t imagine it’s not slowing them down as well.
