Working as a data engineer in France
Anyone can work as a data engineer in France: the title is not protected. Most job ads ask for a Bac+5 from an engineering school or a master's in computer science, though experienced BI developers and self-taught engineers also get hired. Work-study (« alternance ») during a master's is a common entry route. Pipelines handling customer data must respect GDPR, overseen by the CNIL, and some public or health projects require data to stay in the EU or in certified French hosting.
