Data‑Engineering Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Building the Data Highway Needs More Than Coders When you hear “data engineer,” you might picture someone wrangling Spark clusters and writing Terraform scripts.

Deloitte’s UK Data Talent Study 2024 found that 38 % of open “data‑engineering” vacancies are primarily non‑technical, focusing on governance, quality, programme delivery and stakeholder alignment.
