Specialty
Data Engineering, Data Science & Analytics
Every AI roadmap runs on a data team you haven't built yet.
Market reality
Based on current market postings, data engineers typically start in the $127,000-$180,750 range and data scientists in the $121,750-$182,500 range. Data engineering has increasingly become a prerequisite for serious AI deployment, which means companies chasing an AI initiative are often competing for the same data engineers.
What we vet for
Pipeline architecture at real volume. dbt, Airflow, Spark. Warehouse and lakehouse design (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery). Data quality and observability. For data science: whether their models ever left the notebook.
The bottleneck on your AI roadmap almost certainly isn't the model. It's the pipeline feeding it.
