Platform Engineer (Microsoft Fabric/Azure/Power Platform) – Full Remote Portugal

**Platform Engineer (Microsoft Fabric/Azure/Power Platform) – Full Remote Portugal**

**ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY**

A focused, high-ownership platform engineering role for someone who knows the Microsoft data and AI ecosystem from the inside out. You'll be the technical authority responsible for the architecture, governance, and operational stability of a Microsoft Fabric and Power Platform environment — not supporting it from the sidelines, but designing the foundations that everyone else builds on. If you've gone deep on Fabric, take security and compliance architecture seriously, and find satisfaction in platforms that just work, this is the role.

**PROJECT & CONTEXT**

You'll own the holistic technical architecture of a Microsoft AI and data platform centred on **Microsoft Fabric** and **Power Platform**. The scope spans foundational governance design, security architecture, access control models, environment strategy, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy implementation. You'll also be responsible for ongoing capacity management and performance monitoring — ensuring the platform operates securely, compliantly, and at high utilisation across the organisation.
