About the position:

This Lead Data Engineer role supports enterprise-scale data modernisation initiatives aligned to a cloud-first strategy. Large, business-critical datasets and legacy reporting environments are transitioning to Microsoft Fabric, Azure, and AWS-based platforms.

This is not a pure pipeline development role. It is a lead engineering position responsible for scalable architecture design, migration execution, governance uplift, and long-term data platform sustainability.

• Develop and optimise ETL/ELT workflows using Azure Data Factory and Microsoft Fabric pipelines
• Build and manage lakehouse, data warehouse, and Delta Lake architectures
• Implement semantic models within Fabric integrated with Power BI reporting

What we are looking for:

• 7+ years’ experience delivering enterprise data engineering solutions
• Strong hands-on expertise with Microsoft Fabric, OneLake, ADLS Gen2, and Azure Data Factory
• Experience migrating legacy SQL Server / SSAS environments to modern cloud platforms
• Demonstrated capability implementing RBAC, RLS, encryption, and governance frameworks

Seniority fit:

• This role suits engineers comfortable leading architectural decisions and migration roadmaps
• Experience balancing BAU support with large-scale transformation initiatives is expected
• Confidence working directly with stakeholders on data strategy and reporting transition is important

Technology & environment:

• Microsoft Fabric (OneLake, Data Engineering, Data Warehouse, Real-Time Analytics)
• Azure Data Factory, Delta Lake architecture, Dataflows Gen2
• Power BI integration and semantic modelling
• Legacy environments including SSAS (Multidimensional) and SQL Server
• Azure DevOps, Git, CI/CD pipelines
• Hybrid cloud ecosystem (Azure / AWS)

A quick note before you apply:

• This role operates within a structured government data environment where migration accuracy and security alignment are critical
• If your experience has been limited to small-scale analytics solutions without exposure to enterprise data platform migration, this may not align with current needs
• An active NV1 clearance is mandatory
