The Andela Standard: Network Entrance Assessments

Successful candidates demonstrate proficiency in data engineering tools, possess a deep understanding of data architecture, and showcase problem-solving abilities in dynamic data environments. All candidates must meet the following criteria to be eligible to apply to the Andela marketplace.

1. Qualifications

Qualification criteria:

  • A minimum of 4 years of professional experience in a Data Engineer role (excluding intern and volunteer experience).
  • A bachelor's degree in a technology-related field or equivalent work experience.
  • Excellent spoken and written English communication skills.Proficiency in data engineering tools with a solid understanding of data development principles.
  • Hands-on experience with data technologies, including database management systems, ETL processes, and familiarity with big data frameworks.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a results-oriented mindset in the realm of data engineering challenges.
  • A commitment to continuous learning and adapting to evolving data technologies.A collaborative and team-oriented approach to data engineering projects.

2. Skill Validation

This qualification assessment tests the candidate's knowledge of data engineering fundamentals. It's composed of Q&A and code challenges that evaluate the candidate theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills. A candidate is approved in this test if all challenge level cut-off scores are met.

Data Architecture Fundamentals

This challenge tests familiarity with data engineering concepts and should be suitable for mid-to-senior candidates. Most questions are derived from data engineering certifications and some inspired by frequent data engineering interview questions.

SQL Fundamentals

This challenge tests knowledge of SQL and associated best practices. Question difficulty ranges from basic to intermediate, so the challenge should be suitable for any experienced engineer. Most of the questions are derived from SQL certifications and some inspired by frequent SQL interview questions.

SQL Code Challenge

This challenge tests a candidate's basic ability to utilize aggregation, JOIN and GROUP BY features. This is a straightforward challenge that is meant to evaluate specific SQL language feature knowledge.

Python Data Quality Validation Code Challenge

This problem statement covers checking for missing values, non-numeric values in numeric fields, and a specific pattern match in a text field. It evaluates a candidate's skills in data validation, loop iteration, conditional statements, regular expressions, data types, problem-solving, and logical thinking, which are essential for data engineers dealing with data quality assurance and validation task.

3. Technical Interview

This assessment evaluates the candidate's expertise in SQL through a real-time coding challenge. It's designed to be used as an interactive session with the technical screener.

During the assessment, technologists will tackle a hands-on problem tailored real-world scenario in SQL query development. Their solution will be first verified by a battery of automated test cases to ensure it meets the functional requirements as well as industry standards. Then, our experienced interviewers step in to assess the overall efficiency of the candidate's solution.

Assessment Outline:

  • SQL Coding Challenge (Option 1):
    • This assessment evaluates the candidate's expertise in Data Engineering through a real-time SQL challenge. This challenge has a mid-to-senior difficulty level that involves both DDL and DML instructions, and the candidate's ability to work with views.
  • SQL Coding Challenge (Option 2):
    • This assessment evaluates the candidate's expertise in Data Engineering through a real-time SQL challenge. This is a senior-level assessment that explores problem-solving skills in complex database queries. It tests a developer's ability to utilize multiple SQL operations together, such as HAVING, GROUP BY, JOIN, and SELECT sub-queries. In addition, the query is designed to push a candidate's critical thinking skills.
