Everyone wants to be a data scientist. Data modeling is the hottest thing since Tickle Me Elmo. But data scientists don’t work alone. They rely on data engineers to help with data acquisition and data shaping before their model can be developed. They rely on data engineers to deploy their model into production. Once the model is in production, the data engineer’s job isn’t done. The model must be monitored to make sure that it retains its predictive power. And when the model slips, the data engineer and the data scientist need to work together to correct it through retraining or remodeling.
