    • Implement Slowly Changing Dimensions (Type 1/2/3), Change Data Capture, and late-arriving data patterns
    • Tune distributed SQL workloads in Synapse Dedicated SQL Pool / Fabric Warehouse, including distribution keys, partitioning, and clustered column store indexes
  • Platform Engineering & DevOps
    • Implement CI/CD for data pipelines using Azure DevOps (YAML pipelines, ARM/Bicep/Terraform) across Dev / SIT / UAT / Prod environments
    • Instrument pipelines with robust logging, auditing, and monitoring using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and KQL
    • Define and enforce coding standards, code review practices, branching strategies, and release management
  • Migration & Modernization
    • Lead or contribute to legacy-to-cloud migrations - e.g., Informatica PowerCenter to Azure Data Factory, on-premises Teradata / Oracle / SQL Server to Synapse or Fabric
    • Perform workload assessment, capacity planning, and cost modeling for target-state architectures
    • production incident response for critical pipelines

You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.
Required Qualifications:
  • Demonstrated experience in Data Bricks and PySpark
  • Production experience with one or more of: Azure Synapse Analytics (Dedicated and Serverless SQL Pools, Spark Pools) OR Azure Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog) OR Microsoft Fabric (Warehouse, Lakehouse, OneLake)
