We’re seeking a hands-on Data Architect to lead the design, modernization, and governance of our analytics platform on Microsoft Fabric. You will define the target architecture across One Lake, Lakehouse/Data Warehouse, Direct Lake, Power BI, and Data Engineering experiences, while orchestrating migrations and integrations from Oracle, Snowflake and other. This role blends deep technical architecture with practical delivery—partnering with data engineers, BI developers, and business stakeholders to deliver trusted, performant, and governed data products.

Architecture & Strategy

• Define end-to-end Fabric data engineering architecture (One Lake, Lakehouse, Warehouse, Delta tables, medallion layers) aligned to business domains, enterprise architecture, platform architecture and data product strategy.
• Establish dimensional and semantic models for Power BI leveraging Direct Lake, Composite Models, and shared datasets.
• Create standards for data modeling, partitioning, indexing, and performance optimization across Fabric pipelines, notebooks, and warehouses.
• Develop reference architectures for batch, micro-batch, and streaming ingestion; choose the right pattern (Dataflows Gen2, Pipelines, Notebooks, Spark Structured Streaming).

Data Integration & Migration (Oracle & Snowflake)

• Lead migration paths from Oracle (e.g., PL/SQL-based systems) and Snowflake to Fabric Lakehouse/Warehouse; define incremental loads, CDC, and cutover strategies.
• Design robust ingestion using Snowpipe/Snowflake Tasks & Streams, Oracle CDC (e.g., Golden Gate), or landing via ADF/Fabric Pipelines to Delta Lake.
• Rationalize Snowflake objects (schemas/tables/stages) and Oracle PL/SQL logic into Spark/SQL transformations, reusable notebook patterns, and Dataflows Gen2 where appropriate.
• Implement secure, governed data sharing and zero-copy migration patterns, minimizing downtime and cost.
• Proficient in building reliable, realtime data pipelines using Kafka—covering event streaming architecture, streaming ingestion with Fabric and Spark, Kafka Connect and schema management, and the design of low-latency processing with Kafka Streams or Spark.

Governance, Security, & Compliance

• Operationalize data catalog, lineage, classifications, policies for Fabric and connected sources.
• Define RBAC, workspace and item-level security, row-level and object-level security for BI and warehouse artifacts.
• Establish data quality rules, observability (logging/metrics), SLAs, and error handling across pipelines and streaming jobs.
• Partner with Info Sec for encryption, key management, and compliance (e.g., HIPAA/PCI/SOX depending on industry).
