• Write, optimize, and review complex SQL queries
  , stored procedures, and performance‑critical workloads.
• Collaborate with data architects, analysts, and business stakeholders to define data requirements and best practices.
• Implement governance, security, and workspace standards across the Fabric environment.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and continuously improve data pipelines and platform performance.

• 5–8+ years of experience in data engineering or related fields.
• Hands‑on experience with Microsoft Fabric
