The Problem

Many growth-stage companies now have product usage, billing, CRM, support, infrastructure, and operational data spread across disconnected systems. They need reliable data for analytics, customer-facing features, AI agents, forecasting, and compliance, but their first data hire is expensive, slow to recruit, and often has to build everything from scratch. The pain is especially acute when leadership needs trusted metrics and AI-ready datasets before a full internal data platform team exists.

Potential Solution

Offer a fixed-scope implementation package that audits source systems, designs the core data model, builds ingestion pipelines, creates dbt-style transformation layers, adds quality checks, and documents a governed semantic layer. The first version is delivered as a hands-on service using the buyer's existing stack such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Airflow, Dagster, Fivetran, dbt, and BI tools. Over time, the repeatable parts become templates, runbooks, monitors, and managed maintenance retainers.

Why Now?

AI agents, RAG systems, customer-facing analytics, and self-serve BI are making data quality and semantic consistency more urgent. The job signals show companies actively hiring for the same foundational workflow across healthcare, fintech, AI infrastructure, SaaS, robotics, and enterprise software.

We build and operate the infrastructure that the entire company relies on to work with data effectively — ingestion infrastructure, a reliable lakehouse, the tooling that data engineers build on top of, and increasingly, AI-powered interfaces (MCP connectors, workflow skills, and integrations) that bring data directly into how people and AI agents get work done across DeepL. Our customers aren't just data teams; they're the whole company.
