Algorithm Engineer

Algorithm engineers create cost-effective scalable systems and develop innovative algorithm solutions. They develop an algorithm system that records all operations and can be maintained by the team. They manage the design, development and deployment of scalable, high volume and real-time system. An algorithm engineer should knowledge of algorithm applications – both theoretical and practical in software engineering. The average salary of an Algorithm Engineer is INR 7,31,159. Average salary: INR 7,31,159 Salary range (per year): INR 120,000 – INR 3,414,000  

Data Engineer

A data engineer builds and maintains an organization’s entire data ecosystem, including everything from data sources and databases to data storage solutions. Their primary responsibility is to design and engineer a reliable infrastructure for transforming data into such formats as can be used by data scientists. Data engineers integrate, consolidate and cleanse data collected from multiple sources. They prepare raw data for manipulation and predictive/prescriptive modeling by data scientists. The average salary of a data engineer is INR 7,00,000. Average salary: INR 7,00,000 Salary range (per year): INR 302,000– INR 1,600,000  

Statistician

Statisticians are professionals who apply statistical methods and models to real-world problems. They glean, assess and interpret data to help in many business decision-making processes. Statisticians have a very different approach to building and testing models as compared to data scientists. The analytical prowess of statisticians helps organizations in understanding quantitative data and predicting potential trends. The average salary of a Statistician is INR 5,26,829. Average salary: INR 5,26,829 Salary range (per year): INR 325,000– INR 2,391,000  

Data Analyst

Data analysts are primarily responsible for designing and maintaining data systems and databases. This includes fixing coding errors and other data-related problems. They mine data from primary and secondary sources and then reorganizing given data in a format that can be easily read by both humans and machines. They use statistical tools to interpret data sets, focusing on and exploring new trends and patterns that could be valuable for diagnostic and predictive analytics efforts. The average salary of a Data Analyst is INR 5,23,921. Average salary: INR 5,23,921 Salary range (per year): INR 274,000 – INR 1,000,000  

Computer Vision Engineer

Computer vision engineers are professionals who have a significant amount of experience with a variety of systems, such as image recognition, machine learning and segmentation.
