Tier4 Group is seeking an accomplished Microsoft Fabric Solutions Architect to lead the design, implementation, and modernization of enterprise-scale analytics platforms. In this senior consulting role, you will serve as a trusted advisor to clients, architecting end-to-end data solutions within the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem and driving digital transformation initiatives that deliver measurable business impact. This role will report directly to the VP of Enterprise Architecture.
You will guide clients through strategic data modernization—envisioning Lakehouse architectures, implementing medallion‑layered data models, and orchestrating large-scale data migrations. This role requires both deep technical expertise and the ability to engage executives and technical teams in shaping data strategies that align with business objectives.
Key Responsibilities
Lead enterprise data modernization initiatives leveraging Microsoft Fabric’s unified analytics platform across Data Engineering, Data Science, and BI domains.
Architect and design Lakehouse and medallion architectures (Bronze, Silver, Gold layers) using Fabric’s Delta tables to support scalable, high-performance, and governed data ecosystems.
Define and implement data orchestration strategies using Fabric Data Pipelines and Notebooks (PySpark), modernizing legacy ETL frameworks such as SSIS.
Oversee large‑scale data migrations, including full end‑to‑end transitions (e.g., 22TB Redshift warehouse migrations) into Microsoft Fabric, ensuring continuity, integrity, and performance optimization.
Leverage Fabric’s table mirroring and integrated Data Warehouse capabilities to unify disparate data sources, enabling near real‑time analytics and reporting.
Collaborate directly with client executives, architects, and engineering teams to translate business requirements into scalable, sustainable data architectures.
Establish and evangelize best practices for data modeling, governance, lineage, and performance tuning within Microsoft Fabric.
Support pre‑sales activities by leading client workshops, developing architecture blueprints, and creating proofs of concept that demonstrate Fabric’s value.
Mentor junior consultants and engineers, fostering technical excellence across engagements.
Qualifications
7+ years of experience in data architecture, engineering, or BI modernization, with at least 2+ years hands‑on in Microsoft Fabric.
Proven experience architecting and implementing Lakehouse and medallion architecture frameworks using Delta tables.
Strong proficiency in PySpark, Data Pipelines, Fabric Notebooks, and Fabric Data Warehouse.
Demonstrated success in migrating large‑scale data platforms (e.g., Amazon Redshift, Azure Synapse, SQL Server) into Microsoft Fabric.
Deep understanding of ETL/ELT design, data modeling, metadata management, and data governance.
Exceptional communication and consulting skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and translate technical solutions into business outcomes.
Experience working in a consulting or client‑facing architecture capacity.
Preferred Skills
Microsoft certifications: Azure Data Engineer Associate, Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate, or Azure Solutions Architect Expert.
Experience integrating Power BI and Fabric‑based semantic models.
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Git, and DevOps practices for Fabric deployments.
Thought leadership experience (e.g., presenting at conferences, publishing blogs, or contributing to data architecture communities).
