Microsoft Fabric Engineer
About The Position
Microsoft Fabric Engineer to support and evolve a strategic, enterprise-wide data and analytics platform. Microsoft Fabric serves as a unified, SaaS-based analytics ecosystem integrating data engineering, data integration, data warehousing, and business intelligence capabilities. This role is critical to ensuring the platform remains stable, scalable, secure, and optimized for growing business demand. The engineer will provide continuous support across platform administration, data pipeline engineering, governance, and integration—enabling new use cases while maintaining operational excellence in a highly regulated financial services environment. In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end engineering and operational support of Microsoft Fabric, a cornerstone platform driving enterprise data strategy and analytics capabilities. The platform integrates core services such as data ingestion, transformation, semantic modeling, and reporting within a unified architecture. You will contribute to strategic initiatives focused on improving cloud security posture, automating firewall policy management, and enhancing resiliency across environments. This position requires a strong balance of hands-on engineering, architecture, and operational risk management in a highly regulated banking environment.
