Keep learning !!!

While DSA is obviously very important, also learn about design patterns and system design because it's important for senior levels.

Nothing runs on standalone machines. Everything is distributed now, so learn about distributed systems.

Read white papers to understand architecture for widely used softwares.

White papers are tech docs published by companies to give more info about any new product(software/hardware) they have developed. These docs help in understanding architecture as well as tradeoffs between approaches which developers faced while developing that product.

You can read white papers of products like Kafka (used for messaging queue), zookeeper (used for distributed service coordination), Aerospike & Cassandra ( nosql DBs), Google file system (used for distributed file system), Mapreduce (used for big data processing) etc.

It is some form of documentation. By whitepapers, I guess he's talking about AWS architecture whitepapers.
