I don't think data science would be a hot job if advances in data engineering (arguably, another ill-defined term) hadn't been achieved. Because of this I like this definition of data scientist, although I can't remember where I read it:
"A data scientist is someone who knows more about statistics than your average software developer, but more about software development than your average statistician".
