We're looking for a Software Engineer Lead to help lead the technical direction of our data platform. This is a hybrid, hands-on role requiring architectural thinking and experience — you'll design and help implement scalable data solutions in Microsoft Fabric, guide our Power BI development standards, help shape our emerging AI/analytics roadmap, and partner closely with DBA, DevOps, and application teams as we mature our architecture.

What You’ll Be Doing :

• Set the technical direction and roadmap for our Microsoft Fabric platform, including layered (medallion) architecture, pipelines, and retiring legacy data marts
• Design how data flows from our applications into a governed warehouse, across many customers and multiple environments
• Act as the primary designer of our Power BI dashboards: data models, DAX measures, visual design, performance tuning, and governance (workspace structure, row level security, deployment pipelines)
• Lead our AI and automation efforts: spot manual work worth eliminating, prototype quickly, and bring new ideas to the team
• Shape our AI roadmap by designing data architecture (semantic layers, medallion structure) that supports the AI capabilities we want to build next
• Help design new, marketable data products and a lighter way of delivering reports that reduces ongoing maintenance
• Partner with DBA, DevOps, and application teams to design scalable, production-ready data solutions
• Bring a working understanding of SQL Server performance monitoring: how to interpret database logs, identify performance issues, and support high-availability, 24/7 production environments
• Design and maintain observability practices across the data platform, including semantic models, pipelines, warehouses, and SQL endpoints
• Evaluate and recommend tools, patterns, and standards as we mature from report development toward a broader data + AI platform strategy

What We’re Looking For :

• Senior experience architecting cloud data platforms, preferably on Microsoft Fabric, or on a comparable platform such as Databricks and Synapse
• A prototyping mindset and out-of-the-box thinking: you test ideas fast, learn from what fails, and have turned an idea into something people used
• Practical curiosity about AI: you have prototyped something with LLMs, retrieval, or automation and can tell us what worked and what did not
• Experience designing data architectures (semantic layers, medallion structure) that are AI-ready; familiarity with Azure AI Foundry a plus
• Strong SQL skills and experience with data pipeline design/optimization, with working knowledge of SQL Server performance monitoring concepts
• Experience with medallion architecture and cloud data warehousing patterns
• Hands-on experience with Fabric Data pipelines or similar pipeline/orchestration tools
• Experience ingesting from relational sources, including change capture patterns
• Experience with API-based data integration
• Solid understanding of the broader Azure ecosystem and its data-related services: App Services, VMs, Blob Storage, Log Analytics, networking basics
• Python, Fabric notebooks/Spark, or exposure to MLflow/model registry concepts, and familiarity with Fabric's AI-adjacent capabilities
• General exposure to or interest in AI-adjacent data patterns, e.g., natural-language-to-data querying or general familiarity with how AI grounding over data works conceptually
• Working knowledge of PowerShell and/or Azure DevOps (ADO) dashboards/pipelines

What Will Make You Stand Out :

• Familiarity with Power BI Embedded or similar embedding frameworks
• Hands-on experience with Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, or emerging analytics patterns (real-time/streaming, natural-language-to-data querying)
• Familiarity with RAG, vector/embeddings concepts, AI agents, or responsible AI/governance principles
• Experience with statistical analysis, forecasting, or health-related analytics, especially in partnership with data scientists or product teams
