Fast-forward your technical career with lessons from Silicon Valley leaders. Fully reimbursable at most tech companies.

About the course

Any software engineer, TPM, or data scientist can simply execute and write code or build dashboards. But what sets superstar technologists apart is that they don't just implement others' ideas they also dream up and implement new ideas themselves, iterating far faster than anyone else on the team. They become a one-person army, capable of running entire value-adding projects from start to finish.

If you want to be that powerhouse leader, you need to go beyond your narrow area of specialization. During Eng School's 8-week program, you'll become fluent in building for billion-user scale, distributed system design, monetization, product strategy, growth, and everything else you'll need to accelerate your trajectory toward Tech Lead, Director, and beyond.

Because Eng School is such a potent investment in your future, many companies will sponsor your enrollment in the course. The course has been completed and reimbursed by software engineers, TPMs, and data scientists at Dropbox, Meta, Microsoft, PayPal, VMware, Apple, Stripe, and more!

Praise for Eng School

"As a software engineer, this course has taught me a lot about how to build more sticky products. Having worked on teams that have less involvement from the product and design side, this course has helped me better fill in some of those gaps and have more impact."

Bowen Zhang

Software Engineer at Yext
“The Eng School course has helped me improve my product sense, which has enabled me to be a better participant in strategic roadmap discussions.”

Hilawi Belachew

Software Engineer at Google
"The Eng School course is critical for any engineer who wants to have more say on what to build rather than just how. Trust me, it’s well worth the time investment!"

Nimish Kumar

Software Engineer II at Microsoft
"You can learn how to code in school, but there are a lot of practical skills and insights that aren’t taught to SWEs in traditional classrooms. That’s where this course comes in."
