Azure Fabric Engineer​/Architect

About Our Client

Our client is a well-established, technology-forward enterprise with a track record of investing in modern data infrastructure y operate across multiple business units and geographies, serving a diverse mix of enterprise and institutional customers. With a strong commitment to data-driven decision-making, they are mid-flight on a strategic initiative to consolidate and modernize their data platform using Microsoft Fabric and Azure-native services.

Their culture values engineering excellence, operational rigor, and collaborative problem-solving — making this an opportunity to do meaningful, high-visibility work on a platform that directly shapes how the business consumes data.

We are seeking an experienced Azure Fabric Engineer / Architect to design, build, and operationalize a modern, enterprise-grade data platform. This is a hands‑on role that bridges solution architecture and day‑to‑day engineering — you will be expected to own the bigger picture while also rolling up your sleeves to build pipelines, solve deployment challenges, and drive the platform toward production readiness.

Day-to-day, you will work across ETL/ELT pipeline development, data migration from legacy and on-premises systems, CI/CD enablement for Fabric artifacts, and governance and monitoring implementation. You will collaborate closely with data engineers, business analysts, and technical stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable, secure, and reliable data solutions — and you will help establish the operational standards that keep those solutions running in production.

This role exists because the organization is accelerating its Microsoft Fabric adoption and needs a seasoned practitioner who can architect with confidence, build with precision, and enable the broader team through documentation, knowledge transfer, and technical leadership. If you thrive at the intersection of architecture and engineering and enjoy making platforms production-ready, this role is for you.

• Establish deployment, rollback, and recovery procedures for production data solutions.
• Build orchestration and execution frameworks that support scheduling, dependency handling, retries, restartability, and backfills.

• Help define and implement governance controls including metadata, lineage, access control, auditability, and data quality validation.
• Support compliance and security best practices aligned to organizational and regulatory requirements.
• Implement monitoring and alerting for pipeline…
