Fabric Data Architect designing and optimizing end-to-end data architectures at Keyrus. Collaborating with clients to deliver scalable data pipelines and lead teams through implementations.
Responsibilities
Collaborate with clients to understand business objectives and technical requirements, translating them into target-state data architectures and roadmaps that drive value.
Own the architecture of end-to-end data initiatives: design and guide the build of scalable data pipelines, lakehouses, and architectures using Fabric, and other modern tools (Databricks, Snowflake, Azure Data Services, etc.).
Model full end-to-end medallion lakehouse architectures (bronze, silver, gold), articulate them clearly to client stakeholders, and guide their implementation - ensuring scalability, data quality, governance, and performance.
Design and own parameterized ingestion frameworks for batch and near real-time pipelines, including source connectivity across diverse systems (databases, APIs, files, streaming) and on-premises data gateways.
Optimize pipeline and query performance -tuning Spark, partitioning, shortcuts, and incremental loads - to meet SLAs cost-effectively as data volumes scale.
Design and optimize semantic models -star-schema modeling, DirectLake and Import tradeoffs, relationship and DAX optimization, and aggregations - so analytics layers stay performant and scale with the business.
Design, implement, and operate CI/CD pipelines to enable reliable, automated deployments across environments.
Define, promote, and enforce Fabric architecture standards and best practices across engagements.
Provide technical leadership to cross-functional teams -data engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders - mentoring engineers and ensuring delivery aligns to the agreed architecture.
Stay up to date with offerings and emerging technologies, recommending improvements and innovative solutions to meet business needs.
