Question

What further knowledge and skills should a Python Developer pick up to go into a Data Engineer role?

Answer 1

To transition to a Data Engineer role, a Python Developer should acquire skills in databases (SQL, NoSQL), ETL processes, big data technologies (Hadoop, Spark), data pipelines, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), data quality, version control (Git), containerization (Docker), streaming data (Kafka), and automation (Airflow). These skills enable efficient management, processing, and movement of data within complex systems.
