A large, well-funded transformation program is moving its core systems onto a modern Microsoft data stack. The platform is being designed with a systems integration partner, and now they need the person who will own it technically, from the first pipeline to the architecture patterns every solution will follow.
This is a hands-on engineering and data governance role, leading from the front. You'll build, you'll set the standards, and you'll work closely with the SI partner to completion.
What you’ll own:
- Legacy to target: Design and build the tooling and pipelines that move data from existing systems into the new environment
- Dataverse governance: Define how Dataverse is configured and validate SI partner designs against those standards
- Fabric governance: Set the guardrails for Fabric, validate partner designs, and carry the design and build forward beyond the SI engagement
- Solution patterns: Establish the architecture and design principles that apply across every solution on the program
- Partner relationship: Be the technical counterpart to the SI partner's resources, collaborative but clear on quality
What you’ll bring:
- Hands-on Microsoft Fabric implementation experience
- Dataverse design and setup
- Strong data engineering fundamentals, including Azure Data Factory and the wider Azure data stack
- Semantic and lineage modelling
- Experience reviewing and challenging third-party designs while keeping a working relationship intact
- A background as a Senior Microsoft Data Engineer or Fabric Platform Lead, or something equivalent
- Highly regarded: DP-600 (Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate), DP-700 (Fabric Data Engineer Associate)
Why this role:
- Real ownership: you set the patterns rather than inheriting them
- Work with Fabric and Dataverse at enterprise scale on a visible, executive-sponsored program
- A fixed-term role with a defined scope and a clear finish line
- A collaborative team and hybrid working (minimum 3 days onsite)
