AI-fluent by default

Every candidate is screened for how they actually work with AI — not just whether they’ve used it. We match you to the exact AI-driven workflows your team relies on.

How to hire your Data Engineer

1

Open your position

Post your role risk-free. You won’t pay until you make a hire.

2

Review candidates in 48 hours

We match you with senior, vetted candidates who’ve actively expressed interest in your role — interviews, not résumés.

3

Hire — and keep them

We handle compliance, payments, and equipment. You control comp with our cost-plus model, so your best people stay.

What do Data Engineers do?

Data Engineers build the pipelines and infrastructure your analytics and AI run on — moving data from source to warehouse, clean and reliable, at any scale. They design for throughput and trust: batch and streaming pipelines, well-modeled warehouses, and data quality you can build on. That work increasingly extends to AI — the retrieval and feature infrastructure, vector databases and feature stores, that power models and LLM applications.

Core responsibilities

  • Build batch and streaming data pipelines
  • Design and model data warehouses for analytics and ML
  • Ensure data quality, reliability, and lineage
  • Build vector and feature infrastructure for AI workloads
  • Partner with data science and analytics to ship end to end

Not your traditional staff aug.

Traditional Staff Aug

Data Engineers in your time zone

Our talent works across Latin America — Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, and beyond — on US business hours. Most of the region sits within a few hours of US Eastern time, so you get a full workday of overlap: standups, pairing, and code review happen in real time, not overnight.

And they communicate like teammates, not vendors — fluent, professional English and a startup-ready working style.
