Summary

A senior-level architect who can own the big-picture view of the customer's Microsoft Fabric platform — not hands-on pipeline building, but planning and oversight across multiple teams and projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and maintain the overall Fabric roadmap — what gets built, in what order, and why
• Manage the backlog of pending work across all Fabric workstreams/projects (prioritize, organize, and keep it clean)
• Identify and address technical debt — older or quick-fix solutions that need to be cleaned up or redesigned properly
• Coordinate across multiple project teams to make sure their work doesn't conflict and dependencies are managed (e.g., if Team A's work depends on Team B finishing something first)

Must have Skills:

• Senior Fabric expert (architect-level, not just a developer) with experience across multiple Fabric projects, not just one
• Strong at big-picture planning, prioritization, and stakeholder communication, not just technical build
• Comfortable working across teams and managing dependencies between projects
• Prior experience owning a roadmap or leading architecture decisions at an enterprise level
