Program Preview Wrap-Up: Professional Certificate Program In Data Engineering

Big Data Requires Data Engineering

Data engineers build and maintain data structures and architectures for data ingestion, processing, and deployment for large-scale, data-intensive applications. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced analytics all depend on data engineering. The advent of the Internet of Things and the widespread push for digital transformation mean more data than ever to collect and process.

Reflecting this rapid growth in data-intensive applications, the demand for data engineering professionals is growing at a 50% annual rate. There are currently 2.7 million data-related jobs worldwide as of 2021.

Because of this demand, the average US salary for Data Engineers is $129,000, with some positions offering $195,000 or more. Roles such as Data Warehouse Engineer, Data Engineer, and Big Data Lead Engineer require a combination of complementary skills, including:

• Real-Time Data Processing
• Data Pipelining
• Big Data Analytics
• Data Visualization
• Provisioning data storage services
• Apache Hadoop
• Ingesting Streaming and Batch Data
• Transforming Data
• Implementing Security Requirements
• Data Protection
• Encryption Techniques
• Data Governance and Compliance Controls
