Hire Data Engineers

Dashboards are only as trustworthy as the pipelines behind them, and most reporting problems are really data-engineering problems. LebSource provides pre-vetted Lebanese data engineers who build the plumbing so the numbers stop disagreeing.

01

What a Data Engineer does

A data engineer moves data reliably from where it is produced to where it is analysed: ingestion from applications and third-party APIs, transformation and modelling in the warehouse, orchestration and scheduling, and the monitoring that catches a broken pipeline before someone catches it in a board deck. They own freshness and correctness, not the charts.

Data Engineers in France

The one-hour offset leaves about seven hours of shared working time with a French team, enough to keep daily meetings, code review, and collaboration inside everyone's normal day.

Data Engineers in Sweden

The one-hour offset gives about seven hours of overlap with a Swedish team. Because Swedish working days tend to start and finish early, that overlap sits squarely across the hours when decisions actually get made.

The cost

What data engineers cost, in-house versus LebSource

Pick your country and move the slider to the gross salary you would pay locally. We do not guess the salary for you. A shipped salary table would look like research and would not be.

Your country

Local gross salary

€70,000

€30k€90k€150k

Employer overheads are added at 21%, the statutory minimum for the country you selected.

In-house

€84,700

per year, salary plus 21% employer overheads

Through LebSource

€48,279

per year, all-in, for the same capability

You keep

€36,421

a year, per person, up to 43% of the loaded cost of the equivalent local hire. That is roughly €3,035 a month back, or the budget for a second hire every 2 people you take on.

What this leaves out, in both directions: recruitment fees and the cost of the role sitting unfilled (which count against hiring locally), and onboarding ramp and management time (which apply either way). The full calculator includes the vacancy cost and lets you model multiple hires. Real pricing depends on the specific role and seniority. This is an illustration, not a quote.

FAQ

Hiring data engineers with LebSource

How is a data engineer different from a data analyst?

The engineer builds and maintains the pipelines and models; the analyst uses them to answer questions. Tell us the problem and we will say which you need first.

Do we need a warehouse before hiring one?

No. Setting one up appropriately sized for you is often the first piece of work.

Can they work with our existing BI tool?

Yes. They build the models underneath so your existing dashboards get more reliable rather than replaced.
