What you'll do

  • Architect Medallion (Bronze, Silver, Gold) lakehouse patterns using OneLake/Delta Lake, balancing performance, reliability, and cost
  • Own data modeling for client engagements - dimensional, normalized, and semantic layers - so that data is trustworthy, reusable, and analytics-ready across domains
  • Design batch and streaming ingestion patterns, including Fabric Data Factory/pipelines, Azure Databricks Structured Streaming, and event-driven architectures (e.g., Event Hubs)
  • Identify and resolve architectural risk and technical debt, and optimize pipelines for performance and cost
  • Design and build APIs and data services that activate governed data for client analytics, reporting, and downstream applications
  • Design MCP (Model Context Protocol) and API-based integrations that let front-line business systems, Fabric/Copilot Data Agents, and other agentic AI interfaces securely query and exchange data with the platform
  • Partner with AI/Architecture teams to expose enterprise data to Data Agents and Generative AI applications (e.g., Fabric Data Agents, Azure AI Foundry) in a governed, reusable way
  • Implement data governance patterns using Microsoft Purview and/or Unity Catalog, including access control, metadata, and lineage
  • Support production operations and incident response for critical pipelines and activation services on client engagements
  • Mentor and provide technical direction to Data Engineers, reviewing code, data models, and designs to raise delivery quality
  • Act as a trusted technical resource to client stakeholders, explaining architecture trade-offs and design decisions in clear terms
  • Contribute to reusable frameworks, accelerators, and engineering standards used across engagements
  • Support presales activities where needed, including technical input on estimates, proposals, and solution design
  • Evaluate new capabilities across Fabric and Azure Databricks and recommend where they add value for client platforms

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related technical discipline
  • 5-8 years of experience in data engineering, with strong ownership of production data pipelines on Azure
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python, SQL, and PySpark for building distributed data pipelines at scale
  • Deep hands-on experience with the Microsoft Azure Data & AI stack (Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Fabric, Synapse, ADLS Gen2) and/or Azure Databricks, including Delta Lake/OneLake and Medallion architecture patterns
  • Strong background in data modeling, schema design, and enterprise data architecture across the full lifecycle from ingestion to activation
  • Experience designing APIs and MCP-based integrations that exchange data with front-line systems, Data Agents, and other agentic AI interfaces
  • Experience with orchestration and CI/CD (Fabric pipelines, Azure Data Factory, Databricks Workflows, Azure DevOps)
  • Strong knowledge of data governance and security tooling, including Microsoft Purview and/or Unity Catalog
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and lead technical design discussions on client-facing engagements
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot complex, large-scale data issues independently
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to both technical and client audiences

Nice to have

  • Relevant Microsoft certifications (e.g., Azure Data Engineer Associate, Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate) and/or Databricks certifications preferred
