Software Engineer Vs. Data Engineer - Is There A Difference?

What is the difference between a data engineer and a software engineer?

This answer can vary depending on which company and or team you are working on.

In some cases data engineers are more like software engineers that focus on data.

In other cases data engineers are more like BI developers.

This wide range makes it difficult for data engineers as well as companies to really articulate what they want and their skill sets.

Hopefully this video helps discuss some of those differences.
