Data Engineer

Our client is seeking an experienced Data Engineer to help build and modernize a centralized enterprise data environment supporting analytics, reporting, and business decision-making. This is a highly hands-on opportunity for a data engineering professional with 5+ years of experience who has previously helped build or rebuild a production data environment rather than simply maintain an established platform.

The Data Engineer will play a key role in establishing scalable data architecture, governance, modeling, and ETL/ELT practices using Microsoft Fabric, SQL, lakehouse and warehouse technologies, and modern data engineering principles. This role offers the opportunity to help shape the foundation of a growing data function while partnering closely with business and technology stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Design and build scalable data pipelines and ETL/ELT workflows that integrate data from databases, APIs, files, enterprise applications, and third-party platforms.
• Develop and support Microsoft Fabric solutions, including Data Factory pipelines, Lakehouse, Warehouse, Dataflow Gen2, notebooks, and related data services.
• Establish data architecture, modeling, mapping, and governance practices that improve data quality, lineage, security, consistency, and accessibility.
• Design and optimize relational, dimensional, lakehouse, and warehouse data structures to support reporting, analytics, and operational requirements.
• Implement monitoring, performance optimization, data quality controls, and operational support for business-critical data pipelines and platforms.
• Partner with technical and business stakeholders to understand existing data sources, workflows, dependencies, and requirements while helping define the organization's future-state data architecture.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in data engineering, ETL/ELT development, data integration, database development, or a related enterprise data role, including hands-on experience building production-grade data pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric, along with strong SQL, data modeling, ETL/ELT, data architecture, and data governance skills.
• Experience helping build, rebuild, or modernize an enterprise data environment, including establishing architecture, standards, governance, and engineering best practices.
• Experience with relational databases, lakehouse and warehouse platforms, API integrations, file-based ingestion, orchestration, monitoring, and data quality practices; Python or similar scripting experience is valued.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field; equivalent practical experience may be considered.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-facing skills, with the ability to work independently, translate business requirements into technical solutions, and serve as a trusted technical partner. Relevant Microsoft, Azure, Fabric, data, or cloud certifications are preferred.
