Data Platform Engineer
Extended Desk provides experienced Data Platform Engineers to manage the lifecycle of your data infrastructure. We focus on building high-performance pipelines, ensuring data integrity, and optimizing storage solutions to meet your specific analytics and reporting needs.
Our approach integrates experienced engineering talent into your existing stack, allowing your team to focus on high-level data strategy and business intelligence.
The problem
When data engineering falls behind rapid business growth, pipelines break, data becomes siloed, and analysts spend more time cleaning data than generating insights. Without a dedicated platform focus, your infrastructure struggles to support increasing data volume, leading to latency and errors that compromise decision-making.
The solution
Extended Desk provides dedicated engineering capacity to build and maintain the systems that move your data. We assign engineers who manage ingestion, transformation, and storage, ensuring your platform is stable, documented, and capable of handling complex workloads while allowing your leadership to set the architectural direction.
The Challenge
Infrastructure bottlenecks preventing timely data availability for stakeholders
High maintenance burden on senior developers that distracts from product innovation
Inconsistent data quality caused by poorly maintained pipelines or legacy scripts
Difficulty scaling storage and compute resources as data volume grows
Lower cost
than local hire
Save up to compared to hiring locally
Fixed monthly rates. No hidden fees for equipment, benefits, or overhead.
What you
actually get.
Reliable data pipelines
Engineers who monitor and maintain ELT/ETL processes to ensure data moves accurately from source systems to your warehouse without interruption.
Optimized warehousing
Expert configuration and tuning of your data storage layers to reduce query latency and manage cloud infrastructure costs efficiently.
Documentation and standards
Implementation of rigorous version control and documentation practices so your data platform is transparent and manageable by the team.
Integration capability
Engineers skilled in connecting diverse APIs and data sources to provide a unified view of your organization's performance.
How we
build it.
Every engagement follows a structured lifecycle designed to turn your need into a high-performing, continuously improving operation.
Discover
We audit your existing data sources, pipeline architecture, and storage technologies to identify performance gaps and current engineering debt.
Design
We architect the engineering approach, defining specific tooling choices and operational workflows that align with your scalability requirements.
Recruit
We source engineers with the specific stack expertise needed, such as Python, SQL, Airflow, dbt, or major cloud data platforms.
Onboard
We integrate our engineers into your development environment, ensuring they have the correct security clearances and access to your repositories.
Operate
The team executes sprint-based development, managing pipeline monitoring, debugging, and daily maintenance according to your technical standards.
Uplift
We conduct regular performance reviews and system audits to refine data processing efficiency and introduce improvements to your infrastructure.
