- Maintain and automate scalable data pipelines, emphasizing performance, metadata consistency, and optimal use of storage formats such as Parquet within the Microsoft ecosystem.
- Champion DevOps practices, implementing CI/CD pipelines (via Azure DevOps or GitLab Pipelines) and Infrastructure-as-Code for consistent, secure deployment of Fabric-based solutions.
- Monitor and optimize platform performance using observability tools, ensuring health, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
- Drive cloud migration and modernization efforts, guiding the transition from Oracle-based systems to Microsoft Azure and Fabric, ensuring format and schema compatibility.
- Mentor junior engineers, fostering best practices in modern data engineering, performance tuning, and platform evolution.
Your Profile
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related technical field.
- 5+ years of experience in enterprise-scale data platforms (Data Warehouse, Data lake, Data Lakehouse) with strong foundations in data modeling, pipeline development, and platform architecture.
- Hands-on experience with Microsoft Technologies such as Fabric, OneLake, Synapse, Data Factory, and Power BI in production environments.
- Deep knowledge of data serialization and storage formats, including Protobuf (for efficient data exchange and schema evolution), Parquet (for optimal performance in analytical and lakehouse scenarios)
- Background in Oracle-based platforms is a plus, particularly in platform migration contexts.
