Imho that is absolutely not doing the role justice. For some people that may hold true, but I would expect a data engineer to know everything about distributed systems, database indexes, how different databases work and why you pick them, partitioning, replication, transactions/locking. These are topics a software engineer is typically familiar with. A DevOps engineer wouldn't be.
