layer, and consumption endpoints.

Data Modelling: Define dimensional models, star schemas, and wide denormalized

tables optimized for analytical query patterns. Design fact and dimension tables for

wealth management domains - accounts, portfolios, transactions, positions, fees,

NAV, AUM.

Ingestion Architecture: Architect the Kafka-to-Fabric ingestion pipeline - Kafka

Connect sink configuration, Avro-to-Delta schema mapping, partitioning strategy

(date, entity type, client), exactly-once delivery semantics, and error handling.

Lakehouse Strategy: Define the OneLake storage architecture including

namespace design, table format strategy (Delta Lake near-term, Apache Iceberg

long-term), partition evolution, file compaction policies, and retention

management.

Semantic Layer Design: Architect the semantic layer that provides businessfriendly metrics (AUM, NAV, trade volumes, fee breakdowns) with consistent

definitions across dashboards, reports, APIs, and client portals.

Data Sharing Architecture: Design the architecture for Fabric Data Sharing -

OneLake shortcuts and Delta Sharing protocols that enable clients to consume

analytics in their own Fabric tenants with governed, client-scoped access.

Data Governance & Contracts: Extend the ODS data contracts framework into the

Analytical Warehouse. Define governance policies for the analytical layer including

data classification, access controls (Purview), lineage tracking, and audit trails.

Batch Extract Migration: Architect the migration of batch extract from SQL-driven

CSV to Kafka-sourced Parquet/Delta via Fabric pipelines. Design the metadatadriven configuration that preserves CentralHub flexibility.

Performance Architecture: Design for query performance - Z-ordering strategies,

partition pruning, materialized views, caching layers, and compute resource

allocation across Fabric workspaces.

Apache Iceberg Roadmap: Plan the long-term migration to Apache Iceberg on

OneLake for time-travel queries, partition evolution, and multi-engine access

(Fabric, Spark, Trino, Flink). Evaluate Confluent Tableflow or custom sink for Kafkato-Iceberg pipeline.

Standards & Governance: Establish naming conventions, modelling standards,

documentation requirements, and code review processes for all Analytical

Warehouse development. Conduct architecture reviews for Data Engineer

deliverables.

Requirements

Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data
Science, or a related technical field.
Experience: 8+ years of experience in data architecture or data engineering, with at
least 3 years in a data architect role on analytical/warehouse platforms.
Microsoft Fabric / Azure: Deep experience with Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse
Analytics, or equivalent cloud analytical platforms. Strong understanding of
OneLake, Fabric lakehouse, and Fabric SQL endpoints.
Data Modelling: Expert-level skills in dimensional modelling (Kimball), data vault,
and denormalized modelling for analytical workloads. Experience modelling
financial services data domains.
Delta Lake / Iceberg: Strong understanding of modern table formats - Delta Lake
(ACID transactions, time travel, schema evolution) and Apache Iceberg (partition
evolution, multi-engine support).
SQL Expertise: Advanced SQL skills for analytical queries, performance tuning, and
query plan analysis.
Streaming-to-Analytical Bridge: Experience architecting data pipelines that bridge
real-time streaming platforms (Kafka) with analytical warehouses/lakehouses.
Semantic Layers: Experience with semantic layer and data trans
