We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Platform Architect – Microsoft Fabric to lead the design, implementation, and evolution of a modern enterprise data platform built on Microsoft Fabric. This role is ideal for professionals who enjoy solving complex data engineering challenges, building scalable cloud-native architectures, and driving platform excellence through automation, governance, and DevOps best practices.
As a Senior Platform Architect, you will own the end-to-end architecture of a unified data ecosystem, leveraging Microsoft Fabric capabilities such as OneLake, Data Factory, Data Engineering, Data Warehousing, Real-Time Analytics, and Power BI. Working closely with engineering, analytics, and business stakeholders, you will establish scalable development standards, implement robust CI/CD pipelines, optimize platform performance, and ensure secure, governed, and cost-efficient data operations. This is a hands-on technical leadership role that combines strategic architecture with active implementation and mentoring.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
- Design and own the end-to-end Microsoft Fabric platform architecture, including OneLake, Lakehouse, Data Warehouse, Data Factory, Real-Time Analytics, and Power BI.
- Build scalable, secure, and high-performing data platforms using modern cloud-native architecture principles and medallion data models.
- Define and implement DevOps practices, including Git integration, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, testing, and environment management.
- Develop reusable infrastructure, deployment templates, and automation frameworks using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices.
- Establish governance, security, access controls, and compliance standards across Microsoft Fabric environments.
- Optimize platform performance, workload management, and capacity utilization while driving cost governance and operational efficiency.
- Collaborate with data engineers, analytics teams, and business stakeholders to define scalable development standards and architectural best practices.
- Lead migration initiatives from legacy data platforms to Microsoft Fabric while ensuring minimal disruption and maximum reliability.
- Build monitoring, observability, alerting, and incident response processes to maintain platform availability and performance.
