Key Responsibilities

  • Data Platform Architecture & Development
  • Own the design and evolution of the platform's end-to-end data architecture across Cosmos DB, Azure Data Explorer (ADX), Azure SQL, and Fabric.
  • Architect and optimize Cosmos DB for high-throughput IoT workloads: partition key strategy, indexing policy, schema design, TTL configuration, RU/s throughput tuning, and change feed utilization.
  • Build and manage ADX clusters: ingestion pipelines (Event Hub ingestion, ingestion mappings, update policies), KQL query optimization, retention and caching policy tuning, and materialized views for analytics.
  • Design and manage Azure SQL schemas, stored procedures, and ETL jobs supporting relational reporting and operational data needs.
  • Architect data flow across the hot path (Event Hubs → real-time processing), warm path (Cosmos DB operational queries), and cold/analytics path (ADX long-term telemetry retention and aggregation).
  • Build and maintain ingestion pipelines using Azure Functions, Event Hubs, and Service Bus.
  • ETL / ELT & Data Transformation
  • Design and implement high-throughput ingestion pipelines processing millions of IoT device events per day, including telemetry, alarms, lifecycle events, and geospatial data.
  • Build transformation and enrichment logic in C#/.NET, Python, and/or pySpark integrated with Azure Functions and Event Hub triggered pipelines.
  • Implement data quality, validation, deduplication, and anomaly detection within ingestion pipelines.
  • Apply CI/CD practices for data pipeline deployment using GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
  • Design and maintain ADX update policies and Cosmos DB change feed processors for downstream data propagation.
  • Data Modeling & Storage Strategy
  • Design scalable, queryable data models for time-series telemetry, alarm events, geospatial lookups (H3 hexagonal indexing), and fleet/asset metadata.
  • Implement optimal partitioning strategies tailored to Cosmos DB (tenant + device key patterns) and ADX (ingestion time partitioning, row ordering policies).
  • Model multi-tenant data isolation and access patterns in both Cosmos DB and Azure SQL.
  • Manage data lifecycle policies across ADX (hot/cold cache tiers, retention) and Cosmos DB (TTL, archival strategy).
  • Collaborate with backend engineering to define microservice data contracts and Cosmos DB document schemas that support both operational APIs and analytics queries.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with platform architects on the evolution of the next-generation telematics platform data architecture.
  • Work closely with backend (JAVA) engineers to support ingestion patterns, event processing, and data contract design across microservices.
  • Support product and business stakeholders with analytics queries, reporting, and ad hoc data investigation using ADX/KQL.
  • Partner with project managers to deliver data milestones predictably and communicate risks early.
  • Operations & Reliability
  • Own reliability, observability, and SLA of all data pipelines across the production SaaS platform.
  • Monitor, diagnose, and optimize costs across Cosmos DB (RU/s utilization), ADX (compute and storage tiers), Azure SQL, Event Hubs, and Azure Functions.
  • Implement proper governance, RBAC, and data access controls consistent with multi-tenant SaaS requirements.
  • Produce runbooks, architecture documentation, and knowledge-sharing artifacts for the engineering organization.

  • Strong proficiency in KQL for ADX and SQL for Azure SQL; working proficiency in Python, pySpark and/or C#/.NET/JAVA/etc. for pipeline development.
  • Solid understanding of multi-tenant SaaS data architecture — isolation patterns, shared infrastructure cost management, tenant-aware querying.
  • Experience designing data models for time-series, telemetry, and event-driven workloads at scale.
  • Strong understanding of distributed data systems — partitioning, consistency tradeoffs, throughput vs. latency optimization.
  • Hands-on experience supporting and owning production SaaS platforms end-to-end.
  • Knowledge and expertise in using Git for distributed version control, ability to resolve merge conflicts, knowledge of Git branching strategies.
