Comparing Data Scientist and Data Engineers

The roles of data scientist and data engineer are frequently completely confused and intertwined by hiring managers. If you look around at most position descriptions for companies that are hiring, they often mismatch the titles and roles or simply expect applicants to do both data science and data engineering.


If you’re hiring someone to make sense of data, make sure you write the job description very clearly. Because data scientist must have subject matter expertise in particular area to make sense of data for business advantage.


A good data scientist may not necessarily be good data engineering skills. And, if you hire data engineer who has data science skills, that person won’t generally have much subject matter expertise outside of data domain.
