What your data
engineer owns

Role overview illustration

Companies hire a data engineer from Deverr when nobody owns the data and it shows. Ours are senior Latin American engineers who work in your repo, your warehouse, and your standups. Screening runs against the tools you actually run rather than a generic rubric.

Senior data engineers we place are trained to catch the failed nightly job before Sales does. They catch the upstream schema change before it breaks three models, and the two dashboards drifting apart on revenue before someone forecasts off the wrong one.

They watch the warehouse bill while it is still a line item, and they join your team directly. We employ them in their own country and run payroll, taxes, benefits and local compliance, so you never open a local entity.

How we vet
data engineers

Every data candidate clears the same screen before their profile reaches you.

Data scientist vetting process illustration

Owns the pipeline end to end

Ingestion, transformation, orchestration and the warehouse sit with one person instead of spread across whoever was free.

Shipped checklist vetting icon

Data the business relied on

Every candidate has owned data that real decisions were made from, not a side project dataset.

Security and vetting shield icon

Correctness before delivery

They can show how they caught a bad load or a silent schema change before anyone downstream noticed.

Cost savings and freshness control illustration

Cost and freshness control

Warehouse spend and data latency are treated as engineering constraints, so your bill and your SLAs hold.

Communication vetting icon

Remote communication

English is tested in live conversation, because a remote data engineer works inside your standups.

Signals we watch for

Repeated reschedules, thin interest in the call, or unprompted bluntness about pay all end a process. A distant time zone with no overlap plan means we dig a layer deeper.

We needed a senior full-stack developer fast. Deverr placed someone in under two weeks who was shipping code by day three. Six months later he's one of our core team members.

We couldn't be happier with the full-stack, AI, and WordPress developers Deverr found for us. They saved us a ton of time recruiting and brought in highly experienced developers who fit our culture perfectly, at a fraction of what we'd pay for U.S. developers of the same skill level. 5 stars, I can't recommend them enough.

Alvis.Care started as my garage project, built on Lovable, held together by vision and duct tape. Within a month of bringing on Deverr, they placed Allan as our lead engineer and our code was professionalized and stabilized. Allan took ownership of the team and gave me back time to sell the vision. If you built something real and need it to become a company, this is how you do it.

Why engineering directors
pick Deverr

Five things that hold on every data engineering placement we make.

Data scientist differentiators illustration
Founder access differentiator illustration

One owner for the whole stack

Ingestion, modeling, and the data management in between all sit with one engineer, so nobody guesses who owns a broken pipeline at 7am.

No juniors on this bench illustration

Senior only, no juniors placed

Every engineer has owned data the business made decisions on. You are not funding a first warehouse build.

Matched to the warehouse you run illustration

Matched to your warehouse and tools

Candidates are screened against the stack you actually run, so you hire data engineers rather than general developers moved onto a pipeline.

Your time zone your standups illustration

Your time zone, your standups

LatAm engineers work US hours, so reviews, incidents, and handoffs happen inside the same working day.

Payroll wallet differentiator illustration

Payroll and compliance handled

We cover payroll, taxes, benefits, hardware, and compliance in every LatAm country we place in.

How hiring a data engineer works

Four steps from first call to first pipeline in production.

Data scientist hiring process illustration
  1. 1

    Share your data stack

    Tell us what you run, what is breaking, and what the role has to own.

  2. 2

    Meet matched data engineers

    You get a short list, each candidate scored and briefed against your requirements.

  3. 3

    Interview your shortlist

    You run your own interviews. We coordinate scheduling and answer anything the scoring raised.

  4. 4

    Onboard your remote engineer

    Your data engineer starts in your repo, warehouse, and Slack, with payroll already handled.

Other data and engineering roles

If the gap on your team sits either side of the pipeline, these are the roles we fill next to it.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions illustration
How fast can you place a data engineer?

Most placements run one to two weeks from first call to first day, covering sourcing, vetting, interviews, and onboarding. Flag an urgent role on the call and we prioritize it.

How do you score a data engineer candidate?

Four areas, each from 0 to 5: cultural match, technical match, English, and interpersonal skill. There is no pass mark, so you get the full picture instead of one number.

Can I hire remote data engineers without a local entity?

Yes. We handle payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance in every LatAm country we place in, so you do not need an entity of your own.

Which data tools do your engineers work in?

Common ground includes dbt, Fivetran, Spark, Kafka, and warehouses on AWS. We match against the stack you run rather than a general profile.

What if the data engineer is not working out?

We stay involved after every placement. If something is off we address it quickly rather than closing the file and moving on.
