Data Engineering recruitment

Data engineering recruitment in Toronto and the GTA

Hire the engineers who build the pipelines and platforms your analytics and models depend on.

Why data engineering hiring is hard

Data engineering sits between software engineering and analytics, and candidates come from both sides. A strong SQL analyst and a strong platform engineer can share a job title.

Tool lists are long and change quickly. Knowing the name of a tool is not the same as having run it in production.

We find out what each candidate has built and operated, so you meet people whose experience matches your stack.

Roles we recruit for

  • Data Engineer
  • Analytics Engineer
  • Data Architect
  • Data Platform Engineer
  • ETL and Pipeline Developer
  • Data Engineering Manager

How we vet data engineering candidates

We interview candidates on their work before we put them forward.

  • What they built

    We ask about the pipelines and platforms they designed, and which part they owned.

  • Fit with your architecture

    Batch or streaming, warehouse or lake. We check their experience against what you run.

  • Running it

    We ask how they handled failures, data quality problems and growth in volume.

  • Working with others

    We note how they work with the analysts and data scientists who depend on them.
