As a software developer, you develop and implement software - from individual components to complete applications. Due to your specialisation in data science and artificial intelligence, you are able to transform complex algorithms in this environment into efficient software.
In coordination with users from different departments, you develop solutions to store and evaluate large amounts of data efficiently and thus answer users' questions.
As a security specialist in the field of data science and AI, you ensure the security of the available data and the associated infrastructure and protect them against attacks or accidental damage.
To do this, you coordinate with your colleagues from software development and IT operations as well as the users from the specialist departments in order to assess risks and take appropriate measures.
As a data engineer, you will be responsible for all processes associated with the generation, storage, preparation, maintenance, and dissemination of data. The construction and monitoring of the hardware and software infrastructure are crucial.
This includes the design, purchase, and installation of all necessary components. Furthermore, as a data expert, you are responsible for the stability of the entire system as well as compliance with data protection and security.
These are examples of fields graduates of similar programmes work in. They are not a promise of employment or earnings.
