Find the right person for the work.
What good looks like
Agree which sources and tables matter first and how freshness is measured. Useful measures include jobs that run to schedule, data quality tests that pass and documentation another engineer could follow.
Define who approves schema changes, who reviews pull requests and how failures are reported.
Assess the right fit
Our catalogue candidates are reviewed and interviewed by our team.
Discuss experience with your warehouse, orchestration tool and source systems. Ask the candidate to explain how they handle a late or duplicated load, design an incremental model and make a pipeline safe to rerun.
Agree a short technical exercise with our team, using a sample repository or sample data, and ask for a walkthrough of past work. Give least-privilege warehouse and cloud access, restrict sensitive columns unless the role needs them, and make sure production changes follow your review process.
