  • Lead the technical setup and foundational configuration of Fabric environments, including resource provisioning, security setup, and governance best practices.

  • Define and enforce metadata management standards, including lineage, tagging, and discoverability requirements across Fabric.

  • Architect OneLake ingestion and organization patterns, ensuring data is correctly structured (e.g., Delta format) for downstream Fabric workloads.

  • Ensure workspace compatibility and performance optimization across both Dedicated Premium and Shared Fabric capacity environments.

  • Translate complex business data models into scalable, resilient architectural solutions using Fabric components such as Lakehouse, Warehouses, and Notebooks.

  • Optimize T-SQL logic and pipeline execution to reduce latency, improve performance, and manage compute resource costs.

  • Implement robust monitoring, alerting, and error-handling frameworks to ensure operational reliability and data integrity for production pipelines.

  • (Nice-to-have) Integrate PySpark/Spark notebooks into Fabric pipelines for advanced data processing or machine learning workloads.
     

  • 5+ years of professional software development experience, with 3+ years focused on large-scale data engineering.

  • Expert-level proficiency in Microsoft Fabric, including Fabric Pipelines (control flow, activities, parameters, variables), OneLake, and Synapse SQL.

  • Advanced experience with SQL/T-SQL, specifically for developing complex transformation logic within the Synapse SQL environment.

  • Proven experience designing and implementing high-throughput ELT and batch ingestion pipelines.

  • Strong understanding of data warehousing methodologies (Kimball / Inmon) applied within Lakehouse architectures.

  • Familiarity with Azure services such as Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 and Azure DevOps.

  • Relevant Azure certifications such as Azure Data Engineer Associate (DP-203).

  • Experience with data modeling, including medallion architecture patterns within OneLake.

  • Experience developing Python/PySpark notebooks within Fabric for advanced data processing.
