What’s a data engineer? An analytics role in high demand

Data engineers work for enterprises in various industries to help them manage and store the data they need to operate, and, increasingly, to support their AI initiatives. Data engineers design, build, and optimize systems for data collection, storage, access, and analytics at scale. They create data pipelines that convert raw data into formats usable by data scientists, data-centric applications, AI platforms, and other data consumers. Their primary responsibility is to make data available, accessible, and secure to stakeholders.
