• OneLake: Understanding of the unified data lake structure and managing data within it.
• Data Warehouse: Experience in building and managing the SQL analytics endpoint in Fabric.
• Engineering Tools: Hands-on development with Fabric Pipelines, Fabric Dataflows (Gen2), and Spark Jobs.
• Databases: Strong proficiency in SQL and experience with either Azure PostgreSQL or Azure SQL Server (T-SQL), including performance tuning and schema design.
• ETL/ELT: Solid understanding of ETL/ELT concepts and experience building pipelines with Azure Data Factory and/or Fabric Pipelines.
• Reporting: Experience developing reports and dashboards with Power BI (DAX, Power Query M).
• Programming/Scripting: Proficiency in Python and/or Scala for data processing and Spark development.
• Problem-Solving: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a strong attention to detail.

Preferred Skills

• Microsoft Azure certifications (e.g., DP-203: Data Engineer Associate, PL-300: Power BI Data Analyst Associate).
• Experience with other Azure services like Azure Databricks, Azure Synapse Analytics, or Azure Functions.
• Experience with DevOps principles and tools like Azure DevOps, Git.
• Knowledge of data governance, security, and compliance standards in the cloud.
• Understanding of data modeling concepts (e.g., star schema, snowflake schema). Graduate or above
