What to look for in a ETL Development freelancer
A good ETL developer builds pipelines that fail loudly and recover safely, not ones that break in silence. Look for:
- Idempotent, re-runnable jobs, so a rerun does not double your data.
- Strong data-quality habits: validation, deduping, and clear error handling.
- Experience with orchestration tools: Airflow, dbt, or a scheduler you rely on.
- Solid SQL and source knowledge, so transforms are correct, not just fast.
- Monitoring and alerting instincts, so you learn about failures before your users do.
Ask what happens when a nightly job fails at 3am and how they would find out.
