Lead Data Platform Engineer – Fabric & Databricks

We’re working with a global Microsoft Solutions Partner that is continuing to expand its modern data practice across ANZ.

They’re looking for a Lead Data Platform Engineer who enjoys solving complex enterprise data challenges and working closely with customers to design and deliver modern data platforms.

This role sits at the intersection of deep engineering and consulting delivery. You’ll typically work across one or two client engagements at a time, helping organisations build scalable data solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem.

This is not a pure internal engineering role — it requires someone who understands how to operate within consulting environments, enterprise architecture landscapes, and customer-driven outcomes.

For the right person, this role offers a clear pathway toward Data Platform Architecture and Enterprise Architecture.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and delivering modern data platform solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem

• Working with customers to understand requirements and translate them into scalable architectures

• Leading implementation across Fabric, Databricks, and Azure data services

• Running technical workshops and solution discussions with customer stakeholders

• Working across multiple client engagements simultaneously

• Supporting the development of enterprise-grade data architecture patterns

• Collaborating with engineering teams to deliver high-quality, production-ready data platforms

What They’re Looking For

• Strong experience building modern data platforms on Azure

• Hands-on delivery experience with Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, or Synapse

• Solid experience with data engineering pipelines and platform architecture

• Experience working in consulting or client-facing delivery environments

• Ability to engage with stakeholders and run solution workshops

• Strong understanding of enterprise data environments and architectural constraints

• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work with a leading Microsoft partner delivering complex data solutions

• Exposure to large-scale enterprise transformations

• Opportunity to work across Fabric, Databricks, AI and modern data platforms

• Clear pathway toward Enterprise Data Architecture

• Work alongside some of the strongest Microsoft data specialists in the region
