The data engineer role requires a more in-depth knowledge in programming for integrating complex models and using advanced software library frameworks to distribute large, clustered data sets. Data engineers collect and arrange data in a form that is useful for analytics. A basic knowledge in machine learning is also required to build efficient and accurate data pipelines to meet the needs for downstream users such as data scientists to create the models and analytics that produce insight.

- Configure and manage data analytic frameworks and pipelines using databases and tools such as NoSQL, SQL, HDInsight, MongoDB, Cassandra, Neo4j, GraphDB, OrientDB, Spark, Hadoop, Kafka, Hive, and Pig. Apply distributed systems concepts and principles such as consistency and availability, liveness and safety, durability, reliability, fault-tolerance, consensus algorithms.
