## Description

We're seeking a highly skilled and motivated hands-on Data Engineer to design, build, and maintain our Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse as we migrate our Azure-Synapse enterprise data warehouse and analytics platform. You'll own the full lifecycle - from designing scalable pipelines and dimensional models to delivering reliable, secure data across the organization and supporting it in production.
You'll thrive here if you're fluent across Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse, and Databricks, comfortable using C# for API integrations, communicate clearly with both technical and business partners, and take genuine ownership of outcomes from design through production support.

Develop, optimize, and deploy ETL/ELT pipelines and reusable framework for seamless data integration from multiple diverse sources
Implement data quality, validation, and transformation logic across pipelines, ensuring accuracy and consistency
Establish best practices for data engineering, including coding standards, governance, performance, and automation
Document models, pipelines, and operational runbooks so others can support and extend the platform
Develop and optimize dimensional/Semantic models for advanced BI and analytics
Data Integration & Operations
Integrate diverse source systems into the enterprise data warehouse
Ensure pipelines and Lakehouse/warehouse workloads are scalable, reliable, performant, and secure
Tune SQL, Spark jobs, and pipeline performance for cost and reliability
Implement monitoring, alerting, and operational practices for data workflows
Respond to production incidents, trouble-shoot root-causes, and implement effective solutions
Proactively identify gaps, propose improvements, and drive work to completion with minimal oversight
Implement API integrations and services where the platform requires it
Collaboration & Delivery
Partner with architects, analysts, product, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into Lakehouse/warehouse solutions
Communicate progress, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
