• Build and maintain ingestion pipelines using Python, SQL and CI/CD practices 
• Develop Power BI reports, semantic models, DAX measures and deployment pipelines 
• Support database mirroring and reporting migration activity 
• Work with business users to understand reporting needs and translate them into scalable models 
• Coordinate with MSPs and consultants to prioritise and sequence delivery 
• Champion data governance, quality, security and self-service reporting capability 
• Maintain strong documentation and support continuous improvement across the platform 

Your Fit:

• 5+ years’ experience across Microsoft data warehousing, reporting or data engineering 
• Strong capability with Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Python and SQL 
• Confident with semantic models, DAX, row-level security, workspace and app management 
• Experience with medallion architecture, metadata-driven frameworks and CI/CD pipelines 
• Comfortable engaging with non-technical stakeholders and translating business requirements 
• Good understanding of data governance and security in Microsoft 365/Azure environments
• Microsoft certifications across Fabric, Power BI or Azure Data Engineering would be useful
