What a Data Platform Engineer does
Data platform engineers build and run the shared infrastructure that the rest of a company uses to store, move and query data. Where a data engineer writes individual pipelines, the platform engineer provides the warehouse, orchestration, streaming and access controls those pipelines run on. Their users are internal: analysts, data scientists and other engineers who need the platform to be dependable, fast and affordable.
