What does a data engineer do?

A data engineer designs, builds, and maintains the infrastructure that moves data from source systems into analytics-ready formats. This includes ETL/ELT pipelines, data warehouses, data lakes, real-time streaming systems, and data quality frameworks. At Acquaint Softtech, our data engineers focus on production-grade data infrastructure - systems that run reliably, scale with your business, and feed accurate data to your analysts, dashboards, and ML models.
