- Develop, optimize and operate data pipelines and orchestration using technologies such as Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Fabric, Azure Functions and Logic Apps.
- Plan and execute data migrations with appropriate validation, reconciliation, data-quality controls and operational monitoring.
- Contribute to the modernization of the Data Platform using Microsoft Fabric and, where appropriate, Databricks and other modern data technologies.
- Develop and maintain trusted semantic models that enable scalable Power BI reporting, analytics and emerging AI use cases.
- Translate business requirements into sustainable technical solutions and communicate design choices clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Demonstrate data and analytics solutions to business stakeholders and support adoption through clear documentation and knowledge sharing.
