Description
As a data engineer, you’ll be handling the design and construction of scalable
management systems, ensure that all data systems meet company requirements, and
also research new uses for data acquisition. You should also know the ins and outs of
the industry such as data mining practices, algorithms, and how data can be used.
In order to stand out as a candidate, you should express humility and patience. Data
engineering is about building the underlying infrastructure, and so being able to pass
the limelight to someone else is imperative. We want to see candidates with mechanical
tendencies and a desire to know how things work and to improve them. Furthermore,
being able to listen to your colleagues is essential.
● Design, construct, install, test and maintain data management systems.
● Build high-performance algorithms, predictive models, and prototypes.
● Ensure that all systems meet the business/company requirements as well

as industry practices.
Integrate up-and-coming data management and software engineering
technologies into existing data structures.
Develop set processes for data mining, data modeling, and data
production.
Create custom software components and analytics applications.
Research new uses for existing data.
Employ an array of technological languages and tools to connect systems
together.
Collaborate with members of your team (eg, data architects, the IT team,
data scientists) on the project’s goals.
Install/update disaster recovery procedures.
Recommend different ways to constantly improve data reliability
Responsibilities
● Analyze and organize raw data
● Build data systems and pipelines
● Evaluate business needs and objectives
● Interpret trends and patterns
● Conduct complex data analysis and report on results
● Prepare data for prescriptive and predictive modeling
● Build algorithms and prototypes
Requirements
● Previous experience as a data engineer or in a similar role
● Technical expertise with data models, data mining, and segmentation
techniques
● Knowledge of programming languages (e.g. Java and Python)
● Hands-on experience with SQL database design
CONCLUSION
We can say in conclusion that the data engine work has several different needs regarding
the place where it is specialized or in the country where it is located, for example it is not
the same as this one in the United States as it is in Mexico, it is also spoken of the
minimum wage and comparing the minimum wage of the united states in comparison with
mexico is very radical in terms of payments, it is also possible that in Mexico it is still not
very well developed in what is the area of data engineer due to lack of studies or study
opportunities in Mexico, that is why it is possible that here in Mexico the work is still not
very well developed as others and the pay is not very good compared to other countries.
That is why if someone is interested in dedicating or studying data engineering or
something related, they will need to find study programs on their own to achieve a good
study experience and also a good knowledge experience for when it is time to work.
Likewise, different qualities are needed to achieve a good habit as far as the career is
concerned and likewise it is necessary some characteristics of responsibilities to achieve
a good job.
