# Hire Data Engineers

AI projects stall on data far more often than on models. A good data engineer gets the data clean, current and in one place, so dashboards agree with each other and models have something solid to learn from. That is the work our data engineers do.

- Senior, pre-vetted engineers only
- You interview and choose before anyone starts
- Working-hours overlap with India, the UK and the USA

**Which platforms do your data engineers know?+**

Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift and Postgres, plus orchestration with Airflow and modelling with dbt. We work with what you have unless there is a strong reason to change.

**Can they migrate our old ETL?+**

Yes. Migrations from stored procedures and legacy ETL tools are common work, done in stages with results compared at each step.

**Do they work with data scientists?+**

Yes. Building clean datasets and feature tables for ML teams is a big part of the job.

**How do you handle data quality?+**

With automated checks on freshness, volume and values in the pipeline itself, so problems are caught before anyone sees a wrong number.

**Can we hire for a short project?+**

Yes. Engagements can be a defined project, someone embedded in your team, or a small dedicated team.
