How does Big Data Engineering differ from other data-related roles?

Question

What differentiates big data engineering from other data-related jobs?

Answer 1

Big Data Engineering primarily focuses on designing and managing large-scale data processing systems and optimizing data pipelines for analytics and machine learning. In contrast, other data-related roles like Data Analysts or Data Scientists, focus on data analysis, modeling, and deriving insights to support business decision-making, rather than building and managing data infrastructure.
