Vertex Data
Analytics engineering, accelerated

Modern data stacks, run by AI-augmented teams.

We migrate teams onto dbt Cloud, cut dbt runtimes by 50%+, build Airflow DAGs that don't page you at 3am, and ship Slack-native AI agents that connect your whole stack.

Services

What we ship

Seven focused offerings — each one is something we've shipped in production for real teams.

dbt Cloud Migration

Off self-hosted dbt-core, Airflow-orchestrated runs, or legacy ELT.

We move you onto dbt Cloud with CI, environments, exposures, and orchestration wired up — in weeks, not quarters.

Read more

dbt Repo Performance

Audit, refactor, and re-shape your repo for speed and cost.

We audit every model, rewrite slow ones with incremental + microbatch strategies, prune unused exposures, and turn 4-hour runs into 40-minute runs.

Read more

Airflow DAGs

Production DAGs with retries, SLAs, on-call routing, and observability.

We build new Airflow DAGs from spec or harden the ones you already have — with retries, SLAs, smart sensors, and on-call routing baked in.

Slack AI Agents

Alerting, ad-hoc analysis, and report generation — from a thread.

Custom Slack bots that read your warehouse, watch your GitHub, draft PRs, generate weekly reports, and alert on anomalies — all from a thread.

Training & Enablement

Hands-on bootcamps for analytics engineers and AI-native operators.

dbt Cloud bootcamps for your team plus AI upskilling: how to prompt, when to trust agents, and how to ship faster than you thought possible.

Internal AI Platforms

Slack-AI that connects every integration you have.

We build the internal AI platform your team will actually use — connected to GitHub, Jira, Snowflake, Notion, Linear, and Slack. Writes code, reviews PRs, generates reports, runs ops workflows.

Read more

Business Health Reporting

Warehouse setup, source integration, and dashboards that show real business health.

We stand up the database, pipe in your sources (Stripe, QuickBooks, HubSpot, GA, your app DB), and ship a starter dashboard your leadership team will actually open every Monday.

How we work

A simple, repeatable shape

Same shape every time. Adjusted depth based on what your stack actually needs.

  1. 01
    Audit
    Two weeks. We read every model, DAG, dashboard, and Slack workflow. You get a written report with a prioritized backlog and rough sizing.
  2. 02
    Refactor
    We do the deep work: incremental strategies, repo restructuring, DAG hardening, dbt Cloud setup. Continuous PRs you can review.
  3. 03
    Automate
    Slack agents, alerts, report bots, and AI workflows wired into the systems we just cleaned up. Tested, evaluated, and shipped.
  4. 04
    Train
    We hand off with documentation, runbooks, and live training so your team owns it. Optional retainer for ongoing partnership.
FAQ

Frequently asked

How fast can you start?

Most engagements kick off within 2 weeks of a signed SOW. Audits can start sooner.

Do you work on a retainer or project basis?

Both. Most clients start with a fixed-scope project (audit, migration, or build) and roll into a part-time retainer once the system is in production.

Do you do international engagements?

Yes. We work with US, EMEA, and LATAM teams. Async-first, with synchronous overlap windows.

What warehouses do you specialize in?

Snowflake and BigQuery primarily. Also Redshift and Databricks. Postgres / DuckDB for smaller teams.

Can you sign an NDA?

Always. NDA before any specifics get discussed.
