You'll need hands-on architectural knowledge of Fabric, OneLake, Lakehouse, Data Warehouse, Fabric Data Factory, pipelines and notebooks, alongside a strong background in Azure data architecture, Power BI, SQL and data modelling. Experience designing medallion architectures, semantic models, security frameworks, governance, data lineage and Microsoft Purview is required, as is knowledge of Fabric capacity planning, performance and cost optimisation. You should also understand CI/CD, environment management and integration across the wider Azure/Microsoft ecosystem. Experience architecting Fabric platforms and migration strategies at enterprise scale is key, while exposure to manufacturing, supply chain, ERP or operationally complex environments would be particularly valuable. ## Description Join a manufacturing business making a significant investment in its Microsoft data estate as it builds a modern, scalable data platform around Microsoft Fabric. This is an opportunity to take genuine architectural ownership, shaping the end-to-end Fabric landscape rather than simply delivering individual workloads. You'll define the architecture, standards and migration roadmap that underpin how data is managed and consumed across the organisation, working across complex ERP, manufacturing and operational data sources. With visibility across engineering, BI, enterprise architecture and senior leadership, you'll have the influence to make strategic decisions while remaining close enough to the technology to drive successful delivery., You'll own the end-to-end Microsoft Fabric architecture, designing the approach across Fabric, OneLake, Lakehouse and Data Warehouse technologies. You'll define data ingestion and transformation patterns across ERP, manufacturing and operational systems, including Fabric Data Factory, pipelines and notebooks. You'll shape Power BI architecture and semantic models alongside data modelling and medallion architecture principles. Security, governance, lineage and Microsoft Purview will form a key part of the platform strategy, alongside capacity planning, performance and cost optimisation. You'll establish robust Dev/Test/Prod environments and CI/CD practices, ensure effective integration with the wider Azure and Microsoft estate, and define the roadmap for migrating existing data workloads into Fabric. Throughout the engagement, you'll work closely with Data Engineers, BI teams, enterprise architects and senior stakeholders to turn business requirements into a scalable enterprise data architecture. ## Related Videos - [Data Analytics with Microsoft Fabric: End-to-End Use Case with Data Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1547-data-analytics-with-microsoft-fabric-end-to-end-use-case-with-data-agents) - [Enjoying SQL data pipelines with dbt](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/823-enjoying-sql-data-pipelines-with-dbt) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [Beyond Dashboards: Fixing Text-to-SQL with Semantic RAG](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2036-beyond-dashboards-fixing-text-to-sql-with-semantic-rag) - [A Data Mesh needs Open Metadata](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/505-a-data-mesh-needs-open-metadata) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1520-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Everything a Developer Needs to Know About MCP with Neo4j](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/604-everything-a-developer-needs-to-know-about-mcp-with-neo4j) - [Why Event-Driven Architecture Isn’t About Speed (and When You Actually Need It)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/745-why-event-driven-architecture-isn-t-about-speed-and-when-you-actually-need-it) - [MLops – Deploying, Maintaining And Evolving Machine Learning Models in Production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/115-mlops-deploying-maintaining-and-evolving-machine-learning-models-in-production)
