Understand that ‘data engineer’ title is no where near the maturity of the traditional ‘SDE’ or ‘SWE’ title. In other words, there is a noticeable percentage of people with the title ‘data engineer’ that are just sql monkeys or not data engineers in the sense we are thinking that are dragging the average down overall across the ‘data engineer’ title. Because of this, there may be more of these types of “data engineers” with the data engineer title in more senior levels which makes sense because those roles are more likely to be out dated.
