I am currently a Data Scientist. In simple words, I am good with data and Machine Learning algorithms. I do sas Programming, sql and Python. I prep the data and use the ML packages to build and test models. I even do some automation and data pipe-lining using python. Is that good enough ? what are the areas I need to focus on ? Any materials ?

Good enough
What is SAS programming?

Assuming "good with machine learning algorithms" means you know the algorithms in and out and also know the right places and ways to use them, sounds like you will be fine.
super duper simple thanks!!
What do you consider a ML engineer? Writing C++ for tensor flow is not the same as using the python wrapper.
If one uses python wrapper what are they called
Data scientist
How different is writing C++ for Tensor flow?
Real machine learning engineers typically do backend-oriented work on machine learning oriented systems, which for example could involve writing optimized custom machine learning algorithms from scratch in C/C++. You have to be a good programmer and also comfortable with machine learning algorithms so you can understand the feature requests. It sounds like you know about machine learning algorithms, but it doesn't sound like you do the backend part (e.g. systems programming in C++). However, job listings may use the term loosely even at FAANG, so you could find a ML engineer position that's more of a data science position.
How many people are writing custom machine learning algorithms? I think at Google the research folks can't/won't code and the coders can't research (or aren't allowed to). There may be exceptions. Which is why the Google Brain org. is perplexing - you basically have SWEs doing the grunt work for researchers.
hire me?
I m actually interviewing as ML Engineer with both Google and Facebook ! My background is BSc and MSc (focused on machine learning) with a 6 YOE in a startup ! From the chit chat I ve had with the Google recruiter, I will be a "code monkey" (a code monkey with a great TC I guess). Basically implement ideas/write optimized code in C++ and or Python from the PhD researchers !!!
