What is an Azure Data Factory?

An Azure Data Factory job refers to a data processing task executed within Azure Data Factory (ADF), a cloud-based data integration service. ADF enables the creation, scheduling, and orchestration of ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) and ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) workflows. These jobs help in moving and transforming data between various data stores, such as Azure Blob Storage, SQL databases, and on-premises systems. By using pipelines, activities, and triggers, ADF automates data workflows efficiently.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Azure Data Factory position, and why are they important?

To thrive in an Azure Data Factory role, you need expertise in data integration, ETL processes, and cloud data solutions, typically supported by a background in computer science or information technology. Familiarity with Microsoft Azure Data Factory, Azure SQL Database, and certifications such as Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate are highly valued. Strong analytical thinking, effective communication, and problem-solving skills help professionals excel in cross-functional teams. These skills are essential for designing, deploying, and maintaining efficient data workflows that support business analytics and decision-making.

What are some typical challenges faced by professionals working with Azure Data Factory, and how can they be addressed?

One of the main challenges in an Azure Data Factory role is managing complex data pipelines that span multiple data sources and destinations, which requires careful orchestration and monitoring. Troubleshooting data integration issues and ensuring data accuracy can also be demanding, especially when dealing with large volumes of data or evolving business requirements. Successful professionals often address these challenges by staying updated with Azure’s latest features, implementing robust error-handling, and collaborating closely with data architects and business analysts. Joining a supportive team environment and accessing ongoing training can further assist in overcoming common hurdles and advancing in your career.

Exciting Opportunities at Maverick Payments!
Join our fast-paced, growing company and further your career with Maverick Payments, where you can thrive, your ideas are valued, and your colleagues feel more like family than coworkers!
About Payments:
Maverick Payments is a family-owned and privately held full-service payment provider. Located in Calabasas, California, Maverick has created innovative technology designed for sales organizations, such as ISO's and ISV's, looking to monetize payments by reselling our white-labeled payments stack. Our payment products include merchant acquiring services, a proprietary gateway, ACH processing, fraud & chargeback tools, analytics, and other value-add services. Maverick's team includes underwriting, risk management, compliance & legal, technology & product development, on-boarding, customer support, information technology, and more.
About the Position:
The Data Warehouse Engineer is a hands-on role responsible for the end-to-end process of designing, building, and operating Maverick's Azure data platform. Reporting to the Data Team Director, you will partner with external implementation resources in Phase 1 and then own daily operations, reliability, and continuous improvement of the platform. The role balances operational excellence (pipeline uptime, SLAs, observability) with platform development (new data pipelines, sponsor bank integrations, performance/cost optimization). Your work enables the Maverick organization to access reliable, timely, and governed data for analytics, BI, and regulatory reporting.
  • Monitor health and SLAs via Azure Monitor/Log Analytics, Synapse and Data Factory dashboards; respond to critical pipeline incidents within 2 hours.
  • Triage and resolve data integration failures (sponsor bank files, CRM/ITSM connectors, API ingestions), distinguishing data quality vs. pipeline vs. infrastructure issues; escalate when needed.
  • Perform root-cause analysis (RCA) and drive corrective actions; maintain and conduct post-mortems.
  • Support users with ad-hoc SQL, Power BI connectivity, refresh scheduling, and semantic model best practices.
  • Track pipeline performance and data freshness, optimize query runtimes, memory, and SLA compliance.
  • Design and build Azure Data Factory pipelines (ETL/ELT) for batch and incremental ingestion using parameterized, reusable templates.
  • Write and optimize T-SQL in Synapse SQL pools for reliability and maintainability.
  • Implement incremental loads, CDC (Change Data Capture), idempotent retries, and robust error handling.
  • Onboard new sponsor banks and data sources against the Director's roadmap; standardize patterns for file-based (CSV/JSON/Parquet/Delta) and API-based data.
  • Strengthen data quality and observability with validation checks, reconciliations, and anomaly detection
  • Optimize Synapse cost and performance: distribution strategies (hash/round-robin/replicated), partitioning, indexing and statistics, workload management, scale up/down and pause/resume patterns, and archival/retention strategies.
  • Collaborate with vendors during Phase 1; participate in code reviews, document architecture decisions (ADRs) and platform standards.
  • Integrate Microsoft Purview for data lineage/catalog for transformation governance where appropriate.
  • Create and maintain runbooks ("respond to X failure"), troubleshooting guides, and common query patterns.
  • Document pipeline architecture, data lineage, schemas, and transformation logic for knowledge transfer.
  • Maintain a data dictionary/metadata (descriptions, refresh cadence, PII tags, sensitivity labels).
  • Train internal stakeholders on basic SQL and data request procedures; contribute to architecture diagrams.
  • Assist with PCI-DSS and SOC 2 reviews (encryption at rest/in transit, RBAC/ACLs, Key Vault, Private Link, Managed Identity, least privilege).
  • Stay current on Azure/Synapse best practices, security updates, and cost optimization.
  • Attend vendor training in Phase 1; pursue DP-203, DP-300 (preferred).
  • Share knowledge with the Director and future data science hires via code examples, patterns, and mentoring.
  • Deliver specialized data engineering enhancements as directed by the Data Team Director.
  • Support ad-hoc analysis, process improvements, and cross-functional analytics.
  • Evaluate emerging Azure services and tooling for platform improvement.
  • Other duties as assigned.
Qualifications:
  • 5-8 years in Data Engineering/Data Warehousing or closely related technical roles.
  • Advanced SQL/T-SQL: complex queries, stored procedures, views, indexing, and performance tuning.
  • Hands-on Azure: Data Factory, Synapse SQL, Data Lake Gen2, Key Vault (or strong equivalents: Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
  • Proven delivery of ETL/ELT for file-based (CSV/JSON/Parquet) and API data sources.
  • Strong data modeling: star/snowflake, dimensional modeling, fact/dimension tables, SCDs (Type 1/2).
  • Git proficiency and CI/CD concepts for infra/pipeline deployment (Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions; ARM/Bicep/Terraform a plus).
  • Demonstrated troubleshooting and RCA across complex systems; able to drive solutions independently.
  • Experience supporting BI/analytics consumers (Power BI preferred; semantic models, incremental refresh, gateway basics)
  • Advanced SQL/T-SQL; performance tuning; query optimization; indexing; statistics; partitioning; workload management
  • Azure Data Factory; pipeline orchestration; triggers; parameterized reusable templates; error handling; retries; idempotency
  • Azure Synapse (dedicated/serverless SQL pools); PolyBase/COPY INTO; distribution strategies (hash/round-robin/replicate)
  • Azure Data Lake Gen2; Parquet/Delta; hierarchical folder structures; retention/archival; lifecycle management
  • Incremental loads; CDC; SCD Type 2; watermarking; late-arriving data; schema evolution
  • Data modeling (Kimball); dimensional schemas; semantic layers; Power BI model optimization
  • Observability & reliability: Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, KQL, alerts, dashboards; SLA/SLO adherence, post-mortems
  • Security & governance: RBAC/ACLs, Key Vault, Managed Identity, Private Endpoints/Virtual Networks, data masking, tokenization, Purview lineage/catalog
  • DevOps: Git, pull requests, code reviews; CI/CD (Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions); IaC (ARM/Bicep/Terraform)
  • Cross-functional communication; clear documentation; vendor collaboration; prioritization by business impact; ownership mindset
What We Offer:
  • Competitive Salary, Bonuses and Incentives.
  • Comprehensive employer sponsored health, vision, and dental insurance programs.
  • Paid time off, Paid Sick and Paid Holidays.
  • 401K plan with up to a 3% matching contribution.
