The role is hands-on: designing data models, building ELT/ETL pipelines using the Medallion Architecture (Bronze / Silver / Gold), and delivering reliable, well-modeled data products on Microsoft Fabric and Azure SQL.
This is a client-facing engineering role on a long-term engagement. You will work directly with the clients technical leadership and U.S.-based stakeholders, so strong written and spoken English and the ability to drive your own work with minimal hand-holding are essential.
Core Technology Stack
Required - the work centers on the Microsoft data platform:
- Microsoft Fabric - OneLake, Lakehouse, Warehouse, Pipelines, Notebooks, Dataflows Gen2
- Azure SQL - schema design, performance tuning, indexing, partitioning, and security
- Medallion Architecture on Fabric - hands-on experience designing and building Bronze / Silver / Gold layers in Microsoft Fabric and Azure SQL
- T-SQL - advanced querying, stored procedures, window functions, performance optimization
- ELT / ETL pipeline development - ingestion, transformation, orchestration, and monitoring across the Bronze Silver Gold flow
- Data warehouse modeling - dimensional modeling (Kimball), slowly changing dimensions, conformed dimensions in the Gold layer
Strongly preferred - commonly paired with Fabric in client environments:

- Power BI and DAX for semantic models and reporting
- Python or PySpark for notebooks and transformations
- Git-based source control and CI/CD for data pipelines (Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions)
- Azure Data Lake Storage (Gen2) and Delta / Parquet formats
What You'll Do
- Design and build data warehouse solutions on Microsoft Fabric and Azure SQL aligned to client business needs
- Implement and evolve the Medallion Architecture - Bronze (raw), Silver (cleansed/conformed), and Gold (business-ready) layers - on Fabric and Azure SQL
- Develop and maintain ELT/ETL pipelines that are reliable, observable, and easy to operate
- Model data for analytics and reporting - fact/dimension design, conformed dimensions, performant aggregates
- Collaborate with technical leads and client stakeholders to translate requirements into delivery-ready solutions
- Own quality - testing, validation, documentation, and monitoring of pipelines and datasets
- Research and propose solutions independently; bring options and tradeoffs, not just questions
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards on the account
Must-Have Profile
- 4+ years of data engineering experience, with at least 2 years on the Microsoft data stack
- Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric (or strong Synapse / ADF background with clear path to Fabric)
