What Data Engineers do in Solita?
Data Engineers are all-around and end-to-end developers and consultants handling data in all its shapes and sizes in order to fulfil the end users' data needs. Data Engineers work together with the Solita team in various customer projects, where data platforms and various data utilisation solutions are built, data storages are modernised and data is processed.
Data Engineers both get their hands dirty on building technical solutions and the actual end products but also guide the customer in their data journey by understanding data, its quality requirements and potential value, and linking that value to the actual business needs. Consultancy and soft human skills are also crucial for an efficient data engineer as they work closely with the customer and end users to clarify business needs and specifications. On technical aspect Data Engineers' role consists of designing and building end-to-end data pipelines from the sources to landing zones and further to chosen platform, e.g. data warehouse, and onward publishing the data to the end users in reports and visualisations as information to help and support decision making.
