Database Engineer Duties and Responsibilities
Specific day-to-day job duties for database engineers vary based on employer. However, the core duties for database engineers are the same across all companies:
Write and Maintain Database Programs Database engineers write new database programs and maintain existing programs to ensure they can handle the flow of traffic and the amount of data being stored in the database.
Design New Databases Database engineers design new databases based on company needs, data storage needs, and the number of users accessing the database.
Monitor Databases and Programs Database engineers continuously monitor databases and related systems to ensure high functionality.
Write Programs and Scripts Database engineers write new support programs and scripts for databases to increase data storage capacity and fix existing database problems.
Troubleshooting Database engineers troubleshoot database code, checking for potential problems that affect database functionality and related database programs.
Debugging Database engineers look through coding language to debug existing database scripts and programs.
Review Database Reports Database engineers review daily, weekly, and monthly database reports, including user reports and systems information, to spot problems and ensure that all databases and support systems are working at peak levels.
Database Engineer Skills and Qualifications
Database engineers know a variety of computer programming languages and work quickly to spot and solve problems. Employers look for database engineers who possess the necessary skills needed to perform all aspects of the job:
- Computer coding – database engineers write and review computer codes to design high-functioning database systems, support programs, and to debug systems
- Problem-solving – database engineers look for potential problems in the database, and work to solve these issues before and after they occur
- Attention to detail – to comb through lines of code to spot potential error-causing problems and possible database security and storage capacity issues
- Programming languages – database engineers know how to write in several common programming languages, including Python and Java
Database Engineer Education and Training
Employers require database engineers to have a bachelor’s degree or master’s in computer science, software engineering, or a related field of study. Many employers also seek out database engineers who have at least five years’ previous work experience in database development. Database engineers who possess extra education, such as a master’s degree, can substitute education for work experience. Database engineers receive little to no training after being hired, as they have already acquired the necessary education and skills to perform their daily job tasks.
