Data Engineers think differently. We value engineering difficulty and partnership, unit testing and data quality, standard processes and pragmatism, all in equal parts. Data engineers understand that driving meaningful impact is more than enabling our own work; true impact comes from helping others to unlock their full potential. We measure our success in the accomplishment and enablement of others. The vision of AIML Data Engineering is to measure and improve products while upholding our promise of privacy to our customers. We do this by building optimized and robust engineering systems with rich business context through deep collaboration with data scientists, ML engineers, and software engineers, all while staying true to our belief that privacy is a fundamental human right.
