Road to BFUTR series: Engineering while Black- The business case for more Senior Black Engineers in Tech-presented by Shopify

An in-conversation about engineering while Black

Black scientists have a rich history in the STEM field. Yet, there isn't enough support when it comes to seeing Black engineers thrive. Reason being, is because they aren't always set up for success; and lack the social capital needed in order to flourish. Many get hired to code, but not to make vital decisions that could make a serious impact.

We need more Black representation in senior engineering roles. Function-biased applications without inclusion leads to Anti-Black output. App algorithms and facial recognition technology with glaring blind spots in historical and current data collection, shows how the lack of diversity in engineering affects overall business performance.

This needs to change!

We've teamed up with Shopify for a deep dive into how companies can attract, promote and retain Black engineering talent. We'll also share insights on how senior engineers can push their career goals forward.

The time is now!
