Fabric Data Architect at Remote only Full Time

Job Description

Who are you?

• Platform Architecture (Fabric or Equivalent): You’ve designed multi-tenant or multi-domain lakehouse platforms (e.g., Fabric, Databricks + ADLS/Delta, Azure Synapse, Snowflake, AWS Glue/Lake Formation, GCP BigQuery), including workspace/project topology, environment isolation, and capacity planning.
• Fabric Authority: Deep, hands-on expertise with Microsoft Fabric architecture—tenants, domains, capacity groups, workspaces, OneLake, Lakehouse/Warehouse, Real-Time Analytics.
• Governance-First: You design pragmatic guardrails for rights/roles/budgets/access; you operationalise RLS/CLS and data domains at scale.
• Catalogue & Lineage Champion: Comfortable configuring Microsoft Purview—collections, glossary, scanners, policies, and lineage end-to-end.
• Security & Compliance Mindset: Strong Entra ID/Azure IAM; you bake in HIPAA/PII controls, auditing, and least privilege by default.
• Cost-Savvy Operator: Capacity planning, workloads, reserved capacity, and FinOps reporting come naturally.
• Stakeholder Communicator: Equally at home in steering committees with execs and deep dives with engineers. (We value client-facing clarity and excellent written/verbal communication.)

What you will be doing?

• Platform Foundation (Owner): Design and configure Fabric tenants, domains, capacity groups, and workspaces; define dev/test/prod environment strategy and workspace topology.
• Governance & Access: Establish RBAC models, security groups, RLS/CLS patterns, budgeting guardrails, naming/tags, and approval workflows.
• Catalogue, Glossary & Lineage: Stand up Purview collections; implement glossary governance, scanner rules, sensitivity labels, and end-to-end lineage across Fabric artefacts.
• Security, Privacy & Audit: Map HIPAA/PHI controls; integrate with Entra, Azure Policy, and Defender for Cloud; enable audit logs to be sent to Log Analytics and configured for retention; drive periodic access reviews.
• Cost Management & FinOps: Right-size capacity, monitor usage, forecast spend, set budgets/alerts, and recommend workload isolation or reservations to optimise TCO.
• CI/CD & Change Control: Enable source control (Git mode), deployment pipelines, and release promotion; define SOW-aligned change processes and acceptance criteria for platform changes.
• Operational Excellence: Define SLOs/alerts/runbooks, backup/DR and region strategy; lead incident/RCAs; maintain RAID and platform roadmaps.
• Enablement & Communication: Run discovery/architecture reviews, steering/QBRs, and training for analysts/engineering teams; produce clear docs, playbooks, and decision logs.

• Cost management and FinOps awareness (capacity planning, budgets, alerts)
• Excellent stakeholder communication (execs, security, data engineering)
