FAQ

Hiring freelance data engineers: your questions answered

What does a freelance data engineer do?

A freelance data engineer builds and maintains the pipelines and platforms that move and prepare data, so analysts, reports and AI models can rely on it. Typical tools are SQL, Spark, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric and Azure Data Factory.

Data engineer or data analyst: which one do I need?

A data engineer makes the data available and reliable; a data analyst turns it into insights and reports. If your reports are slow or inconsistent, the problem usually sits with the data engineering.

Can you find data engineers for Microsoft Fabric or Databricks?

Yes. Name the platform in your job description and the matching gives weight to hands-on experience with that platform, not just general data skills.
