Job description

Who We Are At Trility Consulting®, we've built a strong, remote-work culture where people thrive, grow, and support each other - earning us Great Place to Work® Certification. Headquartered in Central Iowa, we embrace flexible schedules and collaboration across geographically distributed teams serving clients from all corners of the United States and globally.
Candidates must respect and value people, recognize that over-communication is barely good enough, thrive on solving complex problems, have a passion for building teams, and know that delivering what a client actually values is more important than their own predispositions. Candidates are self-motivated and relentlessly working to become more today than they were yesterday.
Trility Consulting is seeking an experienced Senior Data Consultant to support a client engagement focused on modernizing an existing Azure Synapse data platform and migrating prioritized workloads to Microsoft Fabric.
In this role, you'll partner with Trility consultants and client engineers to pressure-test and refine the Fabric architecture, build reusable, metadata-driven ingestion frameworks, and migrate data workloads into a modern lakehouse environment. You'll develop scalable data pipelines, implement validation processes to ensure migration accuracy, and establish automated CI/CD workflows that support reliable deployment from development through production.
You'll work hands-on alongside client engineers, contribute to architectural decisions, and help establish repeatable patterns that enable the team to maintain and extend the platform independently. Experience using Claude Code as part of an AI-assisted development workflow is essential to this engagement.
This is a remote W2 position.
Evaluate and refine the existing Microsoft Fabric architecture, including metadata structures, table-level event triggering, and reusable ingestion patterns
Design and implement a metadata-driven ingestion framework that allows new tables and sources to be onboarded through configuration rather than custom development
Migrate prioritized data sources and workloads from Azure Synapse into Microsoft Fabric
Develop and orchestrate Fabric data pipelines and Spark notebooks using PySpark and Spark SQL
Analyze existing Azure Synapse pipelines, including complex and nested workflows, to understand dependencies and translate existing processing logic into Fabric solutions
Build data validation and reconciliation processes to verify migration accuracy, including duplicate detection, key alignment, and record-level comparisons between Synapse and Fabric
Analyze source-specific loading requirements and recommend appropriate full-load, incremental, or change data capture (CDC) patterns
Implement Git-based CI/CD and automated environment promotion for Fabric artifacts, including pipelines and notebooks, using GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar tooling
Leverage Claude Code to define implementation specifications, accelerate development, and review AI-generated code for quality, correctness, and maintainability
Evaluate data dictionary, metadata, and lineage requirements, including potential catalog solutions such as Microsoft Purview
Apply data engineering best practices related to performance, testing, monitoring, documentation, security, and operational support
5+ years of experience working with Azure Data Services, including Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory, Databricks, or Synapse
~ Hands-on Microsoft Fabric experience in production environments, including lakehouses, pipelines, notebooks, medallion architecture, workspaces, and capacity management
~ Strong experience building and maintaining production ETL/ELT pipelines and reusable data ingestion frameworks
~ Demonstrated experience designing and implementing a metadata-driven ingestion framework, including configuration-based onboarding and extensible processing patterns
~ Experience developing Spark notebooks and data transformation workflows using PySpark and Spark SQL
~ Strong SQL skills for data transformation, validation, and performance tuning, including the ability to read and understand existing T-SQL logic
~ Experience working with Azure Synapse, including analyzing existing pipelines and understanding complex data processing dependencies
~ Experience designing and implementing Git-based CI/CD workflows for data platform artifacts using GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar tooling
~ Hands‑on experience using Claude Code for AI-assisted software development, including directing code generation, working across multiple files, and critically reviewing generated code
~ Experience validating data migrations and ensuring data quality, accuracy, and consistency across source and target systems
~ Experience integrating data from REST APIs, relational databases, and structured or semi-structured data sources
~ Familiarity with data governance, lineage, metadata management, and data catalog concepts
~ Experience migrating data platforms or workloads from Azure Synapse to Microsoft Fabric
Experience working with Oracle and DB2 data sources
Experience implementing incremental ingestion, change data capture (CDC), and source‑specific loading strategies
Experience developing data reconciliation and validation frameworks for large-scale migrations
Experience evaluating Microsoft Purview or other data catalog and lineage solutions
