Hire Data Engineers

As the amount of data humans encounter and engage with rises sharply, almost from week to week, the need for experienced data engineers has become even more pronounced. When hiring, though, you’ll need to focus and compare candidates based on technical aptitude, not perceived need. As a starting point, here are some generalized data engineer job duties that are typical of most positions:

• Create and maintain the company’s data architecture to identified specifications
• Obtain and store data for later analysis
• Create automations that speed up the data intake and storage process
• Upskill in relevant technologies (e.g., AI/ML, creating data visualizations, etc.)
• Devise predictive models for future data and discern prior patterns from past data

Data engineering jobs are as fascinating as any other role in tech, but day-to-day responsibilities still vary. Since you won’t have the exact same data storage and management requirements as another company would in your place, you could find that candidates’ skill sets overlap considerably, leaving you confused when attempting to rank them. Below is a list of some of the experience and qualifications typical of the job description of a junior data engineer, just to get you started:

• A bachelor’s degree in a STEM subject, or a quantitative discipline.
• Relevant professional certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Big Data – Specialty or Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate).
• Proven experience working on data engineering projects.
• Database management abilities.
• Strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities.

Hiring experienced data engineers is a tough job, but if you want to deliver on the full promise of your company’s software development efforts, it has to be done. While you can hire without the help of a trusted, experienced partner, why take the chance? PTP’s professional recruitment specialists take the time to understand your team’s toughest challenges and to match you with an experienced data engineering consultant who’s the best fit for your needs.
