Frequently asked questions about hiring your next data engineer

Key technical skills include proficiency in SQL, Python or Scala, experience with big data technologies like Hadoop and Spark, and familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.

While helpful, a computer science degree isn’t mandatory. Many successful Data Engineers have backgrounds in mathematics, statistics, or related fields. Focus on their practical skills and experience with data systems.

Data Engineers primarily focus on designing, building, and maintaining data pipelines and infrastructure. Data Scientists, on the other hand, analyze data to derive insights and build predictive models.

Ask about their experience with distributed computing systems, data processing frameworks, and how they’ve optimized data pipelines for efficiency. Request examples of projects involving terabytes or petabytes of data.

Important soft skills include problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Inquire about their experience with data encryption, access controls, and compliance standards like GDPR or HIPAA. Ask for examples of how they’ve implemented security measures in previous roles.

Ask about their experience designing and implementing ETL processes, tools they’ve used, and how they’ve handled challenges like data quality issues or system integration problems.

Cloud computing experience is increasingly crucial. Look for familiarity with major cloud platforms and their data services, as many organizations are moving their data infrastructure to the cloud.

Database design is a core skill. Look for candidates who understand both relational and NoSQL database systems, can optimize database performance, and design schemas that balance efficiency and scalability.
