Data engineer statement of value
What should a data engineer bring to the table? The answer to this question is going to be based on who is asking the question and their preconceived expectations. A data scientist will expect the engineer to build tools and facilities that can be utilized in the process of creating models and analyzing data. The data processes need to be productized after a series of scientific experiments are run. One or more of those experiments will be proven to produce truthful results. That experimental process will need to be operationalized. This step requires the skills of the engineer who will do the heavy lifting required to create a business solution around the insights the science uncovered. Sometimes this is easy, but often it is not.
The scientist is expected to develop hypotheses, carry out experiments that prove or disprove the hypothesis, and record all processes and observations along the way in order to create data and analytical models that can...
