Data - possibly the most important resource of the 21st century
Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Evolution
Advancements in ML (machine learning) and the rapid adoption of AI (artificial intelligence) have led to a growth in demand for data professionals, across a diverse mix of sectors. From pharmaceuticals to banking, manufacturing to education, the rise of the “digital first” mindset has caused the market for data roles to soar - both Machine Learning Engineers and Data Engineers were listed by LinkedIn as two of the fastest-growing job titles in the UK over the past five years in their annual Jobs On The Rise study.
The three main roles within a data team - a data engineer, a data
analyst, and a data scientist - cover the beginning-to-end process of
gathering, analysing, and actioning data within a business. A full and
successful data team will ideally have at least one of each, but these roles
and responsibilities can overlap in smaller businesses or teams.
Are You Hiring Into Data?
Although businesses and job descriptions will vary, the responsibilities of each data role are typically divided as such:
- Data Engineer - A role in data engineering involves creating and building the system that gathers relevant data, and maintaining this system for other members of the business to use.
- Data Analyst - A data analyst extracts the data gathered by the engineer to examine. They’ll create algorithms to optimize the data extraction and draw logical and objective conclusions from the data to benefit the business.
- Data Scientist - Data science overlaps with data analysis to a degree, but the former is more focused on drawing subjective judgements. A Data Scientist is responsible for making predictions based on the gathered data, and presenting these findings to the business for them to act on.
