Jump Into Data

Data Engineering represents one of the fastest-growing sectors of the information economy. Data engineers provide critical support for the data pipeline, collaborating with their teams to obtain, manage, and prepare the right data needed to answer important questions and inform strategy. Well-qualified data engineers generally require experience in SQL, Agile project management tools, Python, JavaScript, web-based application program interfaces (APIs), and cloud architecture, and understand the applications of these in general business functions and processes.
