This is great. Thank you for the detailed answer.

I found two 6-course specializations on Coursera earlier, which one do you think would be a good starting point for me?

Well, the role is titled as Technical Director of Data Engineering. The DoE will be responsible for 3 different engineering teams with a headcount of 5-7 full-timers each team. What makes you think that this is not a DoE role?

A bit about myself, I have a total of 11 years of developing software, out of which I have been technically leading a team of 5 full-time engineers for 4 years now.

Thank you very much for your help and support.

I have been developing software since 2008/2009 and have been a technical team leader for 4 years now. This is definitely a big jump up the career ladder where I will be responsible for three different engineering teams. Sounds exciting.

Thank you! The role I am interviewing for is also responsible for system architecture and design, not at the code level but at the level of services and components, sort of a Technical Director who is at the same time the Chief Architect (small company). Do you see this working or do you think it's too much of a scope?
