- Establish data governance, cataloging, and architecture standards to improve data quality, consistency, and accessibility.
- Develop and optimize scalable data pipelines using SQL, Python, and Azure data technologies.
- Support integrations across enterprise platforms, including ERP, HRIS, financial, and asset management systems.
- Collaborate with IT leadership and business stakeholders to define technical requirements and data architecture best practices.
- Troubleshoot existing data pipelines and identify opportunities to improve performance and scalability.
- Mentor junior data engineers and provide technical guidance on Microsoft Fabric and data migration methodologies.
What We're Looking For
- 5–8 years of experience in data engineering, ideally with experience owning complex data platform initiatives.
- Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric, including workspace architecture, Lakehouses, Warehouses, and Pipelines.
- Demonstrated experience migrating workloads from Azure Synapse and Azure Data Factory to Microsoft Fabric.
- Advanced proficiency in SQL and Python.
- Experience designing and implementing data governance, cataloging, and data architecture frameworks.
- Proven ability to lead data platform migrations from initial planning through implementation.
- An applicable Microsoft Certified: Associate certification is required.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
- Architectural Ownership: Take the lead on significant data platform modernization initiatives rather than simply executing predefined tasks.
- Modern Technology: Work extensively with Microsoft Fabric, Azure, Python, and enterprise data architecture.
- Technical Leadership: Influence architectural decisions and mentor other engineers.
- Business Impact: Help build the foundation of a modern enterprise data ecosystem.
- Established Organization: Join a long-standing business investing in the modernization of its technology infrastructure.
