Job description

Overview

Our client is on an exciting data transformation journey and is looking to hire a full-time Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer to help lead the next phase. This role offers flexibility - candidates can work remotely, onsite in Appleton, WI, or in a hybrid capacity. This is a high-impact role that blends technical execution with strategic leadership. You\'ll be responsible for expanding the medallion architecture, supporting KPI development, and leading change management efforts to streamline reporting tools across the organization.

To succeed in this role, you must have hands-on experience implementing Microsoft Fabric solutions—not just familiarity with similar platforms. ETL processes, data modeling, and architecture are essential, along with experience in 3PL, logistics, or fulfillment. You\'ll need to be comfortable working across verticals, influencing business partners, and helping the organization move from 5% data utilization toward a scalable, trusted analytics environment.

Our client is accelerating our modern, AI-centered data platform on Microsoft Fabric. We\'re seeking a hands-on Data Engineer who executes quickly and reliably, with strong data-architecture instincts. The design patterns and target state are defined; your focus is to build, ship, and harden pipelines, data models, and analytics that power Operations, Finance, HR, Customer Service, and our direct customers. A core expectation is delivering unified, cross-business-unit data solutions that span Fulfillment, Traditional, Chemical, and Transportation—regardless of underlying technology stacks. (Fabric experience is mandatory; AWS and Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) are strongly preferred.)

This role is measured on speed to value, data quality, and adoption of reporting & visualizations. You will also embrace AI—from development acceleration to improving the internal user experience and copiloting analytics workflows across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Engineer and maintain Microsoft Fabric data products: Create production-grade data pipelines (Data Factory in Fabric), Lakehouse/Warehouse tables (Delta), notebooks (Py/Spark), Dataflows Gen2, semantic models, and Power BI datasets & reports.
• Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) experience to define and manage Azure/AWS resources in version-controlled repos with CI/CD (plan/apply), ensuring consistent, auditable environments.
• Cross-cloud ingestion: Build reliable connectors from AWS sources (e.g., S3, RDS/Redshift, APIs) into Fabric OneLake with secure credentials and auditable lineage.
• Operationalize analytics: Partner with Operations, Finance/Accounting, HR, Customer Service, and key customers to turn requirements into curated data products, semantic models, and decision-ready visuals.
• Consolidation BI/Reporting Tools: Experience in decommissioning many BI/Reporting tools into one without impacting business expectations.
• AI in the loop: Use AI to speed development (code assist, doc generation), automate data documentation & lineage summaries, and enhance analyst/end-user workflows (Copilot for Power BI, natural-language query, RAG patterns for help & FAQs).
• Data quality & reliability: Implement validation, unit/integration tests, observability, and SLAs; monitor freshness, completeness, and pipeline success rates.
• Performance & cost: Optimize Storage/Compute in Fabric (OneLake, Warehouse/Lakehouse) for performance and cost-efficiency; right-size refresh cadences and model design.
• Security & governance: Apply role-based access, row-level/object-level security, data masking as appropriate; contribute to cataloging & lineage (e.g., Purview or Fabric-native).
• Release management: Use Git-enabled Fabric workspaces and CI/CD to promote artifacts across environments with automated checks.
• Support & enablement: Create runbooks, data dictionaries, and "How to use this report/model" guides; enable analysts and power users to self-serve safely.

Required Qualifications

• 2-5+ years of hands-on data engineering with clear examples of 3rd Party Logistics, Order Management, Warehouse Management or Transportation Management emphasis in prior data engineering roles to show business value.
• Microsoft Fabric experience (must-have) across several of: Data Factory (pipelines), Lakehouse/Warehouse, OneLake, Notebooks (PySpark/Python), Dataflows Gen2, Power BI semantic models and report lifecycle.
• Strong SQL (T-SQL/Delta), dimensional modeling (star/snowflake), incremental load patterns (SCD, CDC), and performance tuning.
• Experience building clean, usable Power BI datasets (calcs, relationships, RLS) and supporting reporting & visualization best practices.
• Familiarity with Git workflows and CI/CD for analytics (branching, PRs, environment promotion).
• Evidence of using AI to accelerate delivery (e.g., code assistants, Copilot, prompt-assisted documentation/testing) and to enhance the end-user experience.
• Excellent communicator with the ability to translate business needs into technical back end to execute the business strategy while remaining safe, secure and performant processes across the organization.

Additional Role Callouts

• Reporting - Data Engineer role reports into the IT Manager
• Location - Flexibility to work from home with likely quarterly on-site planning/alignment
• Self-motivated, entrepreneurial spirit and business results driven
• Culture of continuous improvement and teamwork with focus on business value
