This role is ideal for someone with experience in data engineering who is eager to deepen their skills in modern data platforms, particularly Microsoft Fabric and Azure Databricks. You will play a key role in maintaining and evolving our analytics platform, crafting robust data pipelines, and curating high-quality dimensional models to support business intelligence and advanced analytics. You’ll work closely as an enabler to the Data Analyst team, support wider data engineering teams, and ensure analytics platform data is accurate, well-modeled, and traceable.

Responsibilities:
Platform Ownership: Own and maintain 7IM’s Fabric analytics platform with responsibility for monitoring platform health and resolving issues that arise through usage by the analytics teams.
Pipeline Development: Build and maintain scalable data pipelines with Fabric and Azure Data Factory to automate ingestion of raw data from various sources and ensure reliability and performance.
Medallion Architecture: Support the development and maturity of our medallion architecture, ensuring clean separation of raw, refined, and curated data.
Semantic Modelling: Apply star schema and other best-practice dimensional modelling techniques to transform data into analytics-ready structures. Coach and oversee the implementation of proper semantic modelling by the analytics team.
Collaboration: Work closely with analytics, insight, and business teams to understand data requirements and deliver solutions that meet their needs. When required, support 7IM’s Data Platform team on wider engineering solutions.
Governance & Lineage: Implement and maintain data governance practices, including data lineage, documentation, and metadata management. Own the Git version control setup for the analytics team including management of repos, branches and deployment strategy.
Quality Assurance: Conduct data validation, testing, and monitoring alongside wider testing teams to ensure pipeline integrity and model accuracy.
