# SAS language — Software Engineer

For a Software Engineer, 'SAS Language' competence isn’t about being a statistician; it's about *integrating* with existing SAS systems or building components that interface with them. Daily tasks often involve writing SAS code to extract, transform, and load (ETL) data for use in other applications – think preparing datasets for machine learning models built in Python/R, or feeding results into web-based dashboards. You'll likely be working within a larger ecosystem including Base SAS, SAS Macro Language, and potentially SAS/ACCESS interfaces to databases like Oracle or SQL Server. It’s less about full application development *in* SAS and more about leveraging its data manipulation strengths.
