Role Summary

This role is for a hands-on Data Engineer who will take full ownership of building and stabilising large-scale data pipelines using Microsoft Fabric and OneLake. The focus is on transforming fragmented, high-volume data (billions of records) into clean, reliable, and analytics-ready datasets using medallion architecture. The ideal candidate is proactive, solves data issues at the source, and ensures strong data quality, governance, and access control. They will work closely with multiple teams, design resilient pipelines, handle frequent upstream changes, and enable trusted, self-service data for business users.

Set up:
- Data quality checks

Implement data governance + access controls (RLS, object-level, etc.)
Collaborate with:
- Upstream system owners
- Business/data analysts
Continuously improve pipeline reliability and scalability

Must-Have Skills

4+ years in Data Engineering
Hands-on experience with:
- Microsoft Fabric + OneLake

Strong in data transformation frameworks:
- Power Query / M Query
- Notebooks (Python preferred)
Proven ability to:

- Perform root-cause analysis
Experience with:
- Data quality checks & validation frameworks
- Monitoring and alerting setup
Hands-on with:
- Data governance
- Row-Level Security (RLS) / access controls

Nice-to-Have Skills

Microsoft Fabric certification
Experience with:
- Power BI semantic modelling
- Data warehouse design (Fabric lakehouses / warehouses)
Exposure to enterprise data governance frameworks
Experience collaborating across multiple teams / systems

Experience Level Guidance

4–8 years total experience
At least:
