As a Data Engineer, you are required to: Design, build, and maintain data pipelines that efficiently process and transport data from various sources to storage systems or processing environments while ensuring data integrity, consistency, and accuracy across the entire data pipeline. Integrate data from different systems, often involving data cleaning, transformation (ETL), and validation. Design the structure of databases and data storage systems, including the design of schemas, tables, and relationships between datasets to enable efficient querying. Work closely with data scientists, analysts, and other stakeholders to understand their data needs and ensure that the data is structured in a way that makes it accessible and usable. Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in the data engineering space, such as new data storage solutions, processing frameworks, and cloud technologies. Evaluate and implement new tools to improve data engineering processes. Qualification: Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science & Engineering, or equivalent.
