Hello Sandeeshsakthi,

Thanks for contacting Careers360.

Database engineers, who may work as either applications or systems software developers, are generally employed by computer systems companies to design and monitor complex databases. They must make sure that a database is operational and provides valid and relevant data. An in-depth understanding of computer software, database technologies and programming is required to work as a database engineer. Many employers also require a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field for entry-level employment.

Database engineers manage a company's flow of information. They design and maintain a database that provides informative and relevant data to other employees within the organization. Database engineers may be employed by financial services firms, healthcare providers and other companies that make use of large amounts of information.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the overall employment of software developers, including database engineers, is expected to increase by 17% between the years of 2014 and 2024. Per the BLS in 2015, applications software developers earned an annual median salary of $98,260, while systems software developers earned $105,570.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!!
