You will combine strong engineering fundamentals with practical use of native AI capabilities on Microsoft Fabric, always prioritising business value, security, and reliable production operation. Your key responsibilities Data engineering and platform delivery Build governed analytics solutions using OneLake, Lakehouse, Warehouse, Data Factory, Dataflows Gen2, Real-Time Intelligence, notebooks, and Power BI semantic models. Develop reliable batch and streaming pipelines using Python, PySpark, SQL, Spark notebooks, eventstreams, KQL where relevant, and deployable engineering practices. Design and own scalable batch and streaming data products, selecting appropriate data models, processing patterns, quality controls, and service-level expectations. Troubleshoot complex performance, reliability, and cost issues; establish reusable engineering patterns and guide code reviews and delivery standards. Translate business requirements into reusable, tested data products with clear ownership, contracts, documentation,



data-quality checks, and service-level expectations. AI-ready data and native AI capabilities Use native Fabric AI capabilitiesCopilot in Fabric, AI Skills, Fabric data agents, and Azure AI integrationswhere they are suitable for governed analytics and AI experiences. Design AI-ready data products and implement production patterns for retrieval, semantic search, evaluation, safety, and reliable operation. Assess when a governed RAG or agent workflow is justified and implement the supporting ingestion, metadata, access-control, evaluation, and deployment foundations. Develop and test scoped system prompts, context-assembly patterns, agent skills, and approved MCP integrations with clear tool contracts, least-privilege access, input/output validation, and traceability. Partner with data scientists, analytics teams, security, and business stakeholders to select the right pattern: deterministic analytics, semantic layer, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agent workflow, or model-based solution. Ensure AI solutions have documented data sources, access controls, quality thresholds, evaluations, human oversight where needed, and clear release controls.
