Talent & Teams·By Discipline·Data

Hire Data Engineers.

Pipelines, warehouses, and the unsexy work everything else depends on.

Senior data engineers embedded in your team through staff augmentation. The discipline most companies underinvest in until it bites them. Lateral data engineers know how to build pipelines that don’t silently drop rows, warehouses that don’t cost a fortune, and dashboards leadership actually trusts.

How it works

The work, in practice.

They ship ETL/ELT pipelines, dbt models, Airflow / Dagster orchestration, warehouse architecture, and the BI layer above it. They speak SQL fluently and can argue the merits of Iceberg vs. Delta over a coffee.

FAQ

Before you ask.

Can they own a warehouse rewrite end-to-end?
Yes. Including the migration plan, the rollback strategy, and the conversation with finance about cost.
Do they care about data contracts?
They’ll bring it up before you do. Schema drift is the most common failure they prevent.
Will they help with ML feature stores?
Increasingly the same skill set. Most of our data engineers can hand off cleanly to an ML engineer or run feature engineering themselves.
