Summary
Database Engineering — designs, implements, tunes, secures, and operates relational and NoSQL database systems (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB, Cassandra, DynamoDB) and managed cloud database platforms (Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Snowflake, Redshift). Distinct from Data Pipeline/ETL Engineering (which centers on data movement and transformation workflows) and Data Modeling/Analytics focuses: this focus owns the database engine itself — performance tuning, backup/recovery, security configuration, schema design, clustering, and reliability of the persistence layer.
