Hire a data engineer in Greece and Cyprus

The plumbing behind trustworthy numbers: pipelines, integrations, and a warehouse sized for the company you actually are.

Schedule a call How our vetting works

Dashboards, forecasts and models all stand on the same plumbing, and in many Greek and Cypriot companies that plumbing is a nightly export somebody built years ago. A data engineer builds and runs that layer, from the source systems to the warehouse. It usually becomes urgent when:

Broken feeds reach the board, because nothing checks them on the way in
The e-shop and the ERP disagree on yesterday's orders
A new BI tool or model is waiting on data nobody can supply cleanly
The person who built the exports is leaving, and nothing is written down

The data engineers on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals who have built and run platforms in senior industry roles and consultancy engineering practices. They work on the stacks this market actually runs, SQL Server and Azure prominent among them, and choose proven components over fashionable ones.

What does a data engineer actually do?

Build pipelines from the ERP, the CRM, the e-shop and the rest
Design a warehouse or lakehouse the company can afford to run, not the one in the vendor presentation
Connect reporting to its sources so figures reconcile instead of being rekeyed
Check quality where data enters, so problems surface at the source
Document every pipeline so the platform survives any one person leaving
Keep the platform running: monitoring, failure handling and the fixes no status report mentions

How to choose the right data engineer

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

Loads that reconcile
Builds checks that prove each load matches the source system on totals and row counts, and can show you one.
Extracted from local ERPs
Has pulled data out of Greek ERP and accounting packages such as Entersoft, SoftOne or Pylon, and knows where each one hides its history.
Survives a schema change
Has designed pipelines that kept running when a source system was upgraded or a field renamed, and can explain how.
