Data engineering
Data engineering involves ensuring the correct systems are available to enable the collection, analysis and extrapolation of data.
Levels
- 1. Awareness
You can:
- explain why you need engineering support to design and provide products for the organisation
- explain why you need to cleanse and prepare data for use in data science products
- explain different architectures, including cloud and on-premise, and data manipulation and transformation tools
- 2. Working
You can:
- identify the appropriate engineering support to design and provide products for the organisation
- recognise the processes and tools for cleansing and preparing data, and put reusable processes and checks in place
- use different architectures, including cloud and on-premise
- use data manipulation and transformation tools
- 3. Practitioner
You can:
- work with data engineers and data scientists to design and provide products for the organisation
- 4. Expert
You can:
- help to identify the data engineering requirements for any data science product, while working with data engineers and data scientists to design and deliver those products into the organisation effectively
- understand the need to cleanse and prepare data before including it in data science products and can put reusable processes and checks in place
- understand a broad range of architectures, including cloud and on-premise, and data manipulation and transformation tools deployed within the organisation, and can use these tools appropriately and help others use them
