Challenge

The departure of a senior developer created an immediate need for experienced data engineering support. The company initially sought a temporary replacement to maintain an important pipeline while searching for a permanent employee.

Solution

Scalable Data Engineering

Toptal provided senior expertise in Scala, Spark, AWS, Python, and Airflow to develop and maintain complex data pipelines while addressing performance, processing cost, storage, and monitoring challenges.

Stronger Data Architecture

Toptal developed processes and frameworks for pipeline development, data version management, job metadata, monitoring, and testing, while introducing code-linked documentation that was automatically published to Confluence.

Outcome

Reliable Pipeline Delivery

The engineering work supported the successful delivery of data pipelines to clients while helping the system accommodate changing data quality, increasing volumes, and evolving requirements.

Faster Development and Debugging

The improved data architecture accelerated development, made pipelines easier to debug, and provided richer data to R&D and DataOps teams, reducing the time required to investigate and respond to issues.
