Job description

Innovative Tech People is partnering with a respected Microsoft Partner to find a Data Architect who will own the design of modern data integration, warehousing and reporting solutions for their clients. This is a fully remote role, ideal for someone who has grown with the Microsoft data stack from SQL and SSIS through to today’s Azure services, and who now wants to set the technical direction.

What you’ll be doing

• Defining the data architecture for client solutions across integration, warehousing and reporting
• Designing integration patterns using Azure Integration Services such as Logic Apps, Service Bus, Azure Functions and Azure Data Factory
• Architecting data warehouse and reporting layers across Azure and Power BI
• Leading solution evaluation with clients, including when Microsoft Fabric is the right choice versus individual Azure components
• Setting standards and best practice, and providing technical guidance to delivery teams
• Acting as the senior technical voice with clients and stakeholders, including during presales and solution design workshops
• Working closely with Dynamics 365 and wider Microsoft project teams on integration and data strategy

What you’ll bring

• A strong background in SQL and data integration, ideally with SSIS and KingswaySoft
• Recent experience designing data integration and warehousing solutions with Microsoft’s modern Azure tools
• Proven experience architecting data warehouse, integration and reporting solutions with Azure and Power BI
• The ability to assess client requirements and recommend the best fit solution with clear reasoning
• Confident client facing communication, with the ability to explain architectural decisions to both technical and business audiences

Nice to have

• Microsoft Fabric experience. If you have architected the equivalent using Azure and Power BI, that is just as valuable, as long as you can explain why you would choose Fabric over separate Azure components in certain scenarios and how you would evaluate the right solution

Why apply?

• Fully remote working
• A Microsoft Partner with a strong data and Dynamics 365 client base
• A senior role with real influence over technical direction
• Variety of client projects across modern Azure and Fabric technologies
