• Stay current with evolving data and analytics technology platform capabilities, proactively evaluating and applying new capabilities to client solutions

Qualifications

Required:

• 6+ years experience with relevant technology project experience in data architecture, data engineering, enterprise architecture, or a related discipline

• Experience with dimensional modeling and star schema design in support of semantic models and BI reporting
• Working understanding of the latest Microsoft Fabric platform capabilities - such as Fabric IQ, Ontology, Graph, and Real-Time Intelligence - and how to apply them to deliver business value, including grounding agentic AI experiences in enterprise semantic and ontology layers
• Experience building ETL/pipeline solutions using Fabric Notebooks and/or Dataflow Gen2, with attention to data lineage preservation, and with dbt for transformation orchestration and modeling workflows
• Experience with Fabric platform architecture, including workspace organization/structure, CI/CD and deployment pipelines (e.g., Fabric Git integration and deployment pipelines across dev/test/prod), capacity management, and backup/DR strategy
• Experience supporting deal pursuit and shaping activities, including defining architecture, migration patterns, and implementation approaches
• 4+ years hands-on experience with SQL/T-SQL and Python, including PySpark/Spark SQL for data transformation and analytics modeling, with working knowledge of REST API-based data ingestion and CI/CD practices (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub)

• 4+ years experience leading, managing and delivering complex AI&Data solutions engagements
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, AI, or related field
• Ability to travel up to 50% on average, based on the work you do and the clients and industries/sectors you serve
• Limited immigration sponsorship may be available

Preferred:

• Experience with Databricks, Snowflake, Google BigQuery and Redshift
• Experience in consulting and client-facing delivery roles
• Experience in creating critical collaterals for client workshops and customer interactive sessions
• Experience presenting technical content to both large and small audiences

The wage range for this role takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs. The disclosed range estimate has not been adjusted for the applicable geographic differential associated with the location at which the position may be filled.
