Modeling Mastery: Proven experience in Star Schema design and dimensional modeling. Certification: Mandatory DP-700 Certification. Other certifications like DP-203 (Azure Data Engineer) are a significant plus. Preferred Soft Skills: Strategic Thinking: Ability to map business requirements to technical architecture.
