Potentially integrate with Microsoft Purview for catalog, lineage, and policies.

DevOps & Lifecycle

Establish IaC patterns where applicable (e.g., ARM/Bicep/Terraform for related Azure resources).

Collaboration & Leadership

Partner with Analytics Engineers, Data Scientists, and Power BI Developers to translate requirements into technical designs.

Mentor engineers and champion best practices (coding standards, reviews, documentation).

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience with Delta Lake patterns, medallion architecture, and near-real-time ingestion.
