How much does it cost to hire a data engineer from India?

Through Acquaint Softtech, dedicated data engineers start at $30/hr ($4,400/month full-time). In the US, data engineers cost $150,000-$260,000/year. Data consultancies charge $120-250/hr. The cost advantage is structural - India's economics, not lower quality. Our engineers work with Snowflake, Databricks, Spark, Airflow, and dbt - the same tools used by data teams at Netflix and Airbnb.
