Most AI projects fail not because of the model — but because the data isn't ready. NKKTech ships senior data engineering for Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, dbt, Airflow, and the modern data stack. Fixed-scope contracts from USD 25K. Hanoi delivery centre, Singapore-law MSA, 50+ senior engineers, 5.0/5.0 Clutch verified rating across 9 client reviews.
Six sub-services we ship most often. Each is fixed-scope with a published price range — no hourly billing, no scope creep. Buyers typically engage 1-2 of these in sequence; mature teams engage all six over 12-18 months.
Snowflake warehouse design from scratch OR cost optimization on an existing footprint (40%+ savings typical in audits). Snowpipe ingestion, Streams + Tasks for CDC, dynamic tables, search optimization service, multi-region replication. Engagement starts USD 40K fixed-fee for a 6-8 week build; full warehouse design + migration USD 120-180K.
dbt project bootstrap from scratch OR rescuing an existing project (stale tests, ungoverned models). Source freshness checks, exposures, semantic layer with MetricFlow, CI/CD via dbt Cloud or self-hosted runner on GitHub Actions. Engagement starts USD 25K for a starter project; mature multi-team setup USD 60-90K.
Production-grade batch + streaming pipelines on Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect. Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub ingestion. SLA-backed orchestration with observability via Datadog or OpenTelemetry. Engagement starts USD 30K for a single-pipeline build; full data platform USD 80-120K.
Redshift → Snowflake, on-prem → BigQuery, legacy ETL → Databricks Lakehouse. Zero-downtime cutover patterns via change-data-capture + dual-write window. Engagement starts USD 60K for small warehouses; enterprise multi-TB migrations USD 200-350K with 4-8 month delivery.
Vector-DB integration (pgvector, Pinecone, Qdrant, Weaviate), embedding pipelines, RAG-ready feature stores, data quality gates for AI training. Bridges your data warehouse to your AI applications. Engagement starts USD 45K for a focused MVP; enterprise rollout USD 150-200K.
Embedded senior data engineers (10+ years), monthly retainer, your sprint cadence. Typical 2-4 engineer pods covering modern data stack expertise (SQL, Python, dbt, Airflow, cloud-warehouse). USD 15-32K/month per engineer with locked hours + SLA. Quarterly performance reviews.
Discovery call with a senior data engineer (NOT sales). Review current architecture, identify top 3 friction points, recommend an entry-level engagement (pipeline build / warehouse audit / dbt rescue). No commitment, no follow-up sales pressure.
Singapore-law MSA + scoped SOW + fixed-fee quote in USD/EUR/GBP/SGD/local. Detailed deliverables list, milestone schedule, named lead engineer assigned. Reviewable by your CTO, VP Engineering, or procurement team without surprises.
Hanoi-based delivery, your timezone sync window (US ET overlap, EU CET overlap, ASEAN same-clock). Weekly demo + written progress report. Milestone-based payment. Production handoff with full documentation: architecture diagrams, runbooks, on-call playbooks.
Production launch + 30-day warranty (we fix any bugs free). Optional monthly retainer for ongoing platform ownership: typical retainer USD 8-25K/month with locked engineer hours, on-call rotation, quarterly architecture reviews.
Real-time transaction warehouses, regulatory reporting (BSA, EMIR, MiFIR), anti-fraud feature stores, AML transaction monitoring pipelines. BNM RMiT + HKMA + MAS + FCA + BaFin compliance baked into architecture decisions.
Product analytics warehouse (Segment + Snowflake + dbt + Looker stack), retention modeling, churn prediction features, RAG-ready customer-conversation embeddings. Common 12-week MVP-to-production engagements.
Clinical data warehouses (OMOP, FHIR resources), de-identification pipelines, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, AI-ready cohorts for research analytics. PHI handling discipline + BAA contracting via Singapore Pte Ltd.
Sensor data lakes (Kafka + S3 + Iceberg), predictive maintenance feature stores, factory CV training pipelines, multi-plant aggregation warehouses. Connects to our PrismLab AI/AR Japan partnership track record.
Product catalog warehouses, customer 360 views, recommendation feature stores, real-time inventory across multi-marketplace (Shopee, Amazon, Tokopedia). Tested at scale during peak events (Black Friday, 11.11).
Metering pipelines for usage-based billing, real-time aggregation for in-app dashboards, multi-tenant warehouse design (Snowflake shares + RBAC patterns). Critical for AI SaaS scale-ups tracking per-customer token spend.
Three things: (1) Senior-first staffing — every engagement has a 10+ year engineer leading; (2) Fixed-scope pricing in USD/EUR/GBP/SGD — no T&M surprises, no scope creep; (3) Singapore-law MSA via NKKTech Global Pte Ltd. Effective rate ~USD 50-99/hr blended vs US consultancies at USD 200-400/hr for comparable seniority. Same code quality, less procurement friction. Verifiable: 5.0/9 Clutch reviews, Premier Verified status, 5 Clutch Awards 2025.
We work with what you have. NKKTech has shipped on Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, Postgres, Fabric, and combinations. We won't push a re-platform unless the existing stack is genuinely the bottleneck — and even then, we'll cost-justify the migration vs incremental optimization first.
Yes — this is one of our most-requested engagements. Typical audit finds 30-45% savings via (a) warehouse right-sizing, (b) query optimization with clustering keys + search optimization service, (c) eliminating redundant pipelines, (d) lifecycle policies on historical data. 2-week fixed-scope audit USD 12-18K with deliverable = ranked savings plan. Implementation engagement separate.
Engagement defaults: SCCs + DPA addenda for cross-border transfers, named DPO contact in your jurisdiction, breach-response runbook. For high-sensitivity sectors (banks, healthcare), we deploy in your cloud account (BYO-VPC pattern) so data never leaves your perimeter. Compliance regimes covered: GDPR, HIPAA, PIPEDA, MAS PDPA, HKMA + PDPO, BNM RMiT, BOT, APPI, FCA, BaFin.
Every PR gets reviewed by a senior engineer + the project lead. CI runs full dbt build + SQLFluff + pytest + integration tests on every commit. Weekly architecture reviews. Quarterly post-mortems. ISO 9001:2015 + ISO 22301:2019 certified processes. Most importantly: we hire seniors-only for client-facing roles. Junior engineers exist on our team but only as second-tier reviewers, never primary delivery.
Starter: USD 25-40K, 4-6 weeks (dbt bootstrap, single pipeline, Snowflake audit). Mid-tier: USD 80-150K, 10-14 weeks (full data platform build, warehouse migration). Enterprise: USD 200-400K+, 4-8 months (multi-tenant warehouse, AI-ready foundation, multi-source ingestion). All fixed-fee. We do a free 30-minute architecture review before any quote.
