What They Build
End-to-end pipelines from ingestion to transformation to serving. Batch and streaming. Built to handle your data volume today and 10x tomorrow.
Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks — schema design, partitioning strategy, query optimisation, and cost control.
Apache Kafka, Spark Streaming, Flink — event-driven architectures for real-time analytics, fraud detection, and live dashboards.
dbt models, dimensional modelling, data vault, and semantic layers that make your data reliable and consistent across every tool.
Feature engineering pipelines, feature stores (Feast, Tecton), training data pipelines, and data infra that makes your ML team 3x faster.
Great Expectations, Monte Carlo, dbt tests — automated data quality checks, anomaly detection, and lineage tracking across your stack.
Who It's For
Your product generates data but it's messy, unreliable, and nobody trusts the numbers. A data engineer who fixes the foundation, not just the dashboards.
Your ML models are only as good as your data. Data engineers who understand ML infra, feature pipelines, and what production AI systems actually need.
You need to modernise your data stack, migrate to the cloud, or build a real-time pipeline — without a 6-month hiring process. Sprint-delivered, Engagement Manager audited.
How It Works
Fill a 5-minute intake form describing your data infrastructure challenges, current stack, and goals. A Delivery Lead contacts you within 24 hours.
We surface 2–3 hand-picked data engineers with proven experience in your tooling and domain. You review profiles, join intro calls, and choose your fit.
Your engineer works in focused sprints. An Engagement Manager audits every milestone output. You get reliable, production-ready data infrastructure.
Tell us your data challenge. Matched in 48 hours. 2-week risk-free trial.
What's Included
Every data engineer passes a rigorous 5-stage vetting — SQL & Python depth, pipeline architecture, distributed systems, data modelling, and live delivery simulation.
A senior Kovil AI lead audits every milestone before it reaches you. Pipeline reliability, data quality, schema design — all checked.
Work happens in structured weekly sprints with clear deliverables. Not open-ended hours billed to a ticket queue.
Specialists across pipeline architecture, warehouse design, real-time streaming, dbt modelling, and ML data infrastructure.
We don't just build pipelines — we deploy them. Monitored, tested, documented, and observable from day one.
Your engineer handles ingestion, transformation, orchestration, storage, and the observability layer — end to end.
What to Expect
Fill a 5-minute intake form. A Delivery Lead calls you within 24 hours to scope requirements, current stack, and data goals.
We surface 2–3 data engineers matched to your tooling and domain. You review profiles, join intro calls, and choose your fit.
You and your engineer agree a sprint plan — pipeline targets, quality benchmarks, timelines, and success criteria before any work begins.
Your engineer works in focused sprints. Your Engagement Manager audits every output. You review at each milestone checkpoint.
Add engineers, extend sprints, or wind down — no lock-in. You stay because it's working, not because you're contracted.
