Enterprise organizations face mounting pressure to unify, govern and activate data across complex platforms and business units. This is the Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer role at EPAM in Germany, the Netherlands or the UK, working hybrid. You help clients build, deploy and run enterprise-grade data and analytics solutions using Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, collaborating both remotely and on-site. The role connects target architectures and design documents to production-ready solutions, automating deployments and ensuring every delivery meets engineering standards.
