- Build and maintain Lakehouses, warehouses, and data platforms in Microsoft Fabric (OneLake) and related cloud services, with strong emphasis on encryption, access controls, sensitivity labels, and data isolation.
- Implement and enforce data security controls including encryption at rest and in transit, tokenization, masking, row-level and column-level security, workspace and item-level permissions, and fine-grained access management within Fabric and connected Microsoft services.
- Integrate security and compliance requirements (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or industry-specific regulations) into Microsoft Fabric architectures and pipelines, leveraging Microsoft Purview and Fabric governance capabilities where applicable.
- Apply DevOps practices to data infrastructure: design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for Fabric workspaces, notebooks, pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC); automate testing and deployment of data services.
- Containerize supporting data applications and services (Docker) and orchestrate them where appropriate (Kubernetes or managed equivalents); manage infrastructure using tools such as Terraform, Azure Resource Manager, Bicep, or Pulumi.
- Implement monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability for Fabric pipelines, Lakehouses, and related platforms (e.g., Azure Monitor, Fabric monitoring, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or ELK stack) with a focus on security events and performance.
- Automate security testing, vulnerability scanning, compliance checks, and policy-as-code within CI/CD pipelines for Fabric and supporting data infrastructure.
- Monitor data pipelines for anomalies, unauthorized access attempts, and potential breaches; collaborate with security and platform teams on incident response and reliability improvements.
- Develop and maintain data governance frameworks, including data cataloging, lineage tracking, classification, and retention policies with security and operational controls in mind (including Fabric and Purview integration).
- Collaborate with stakeholders to translate security, reliability, and business requirements into technical solutions that balance usability, performance, protection, and maintainability on the Microsoft Fabric platform.
- Document architectures, security controls, runbooks, and operational processes; contribute to security awareness and DevOps best practices across the data and platform teams.
- Knowledge, Skills & Abilities
- Strong proficiency in SQL and at least one programming language commonly used in data engineering (Python preferred; Scala or Java a plus);
- Familiarity with data governance, privacy regulations, and compliance frameworks; exposure to Microsoft Purview is a plus.
- Solid understanding of distributed systems, data modeling, and performance optimization in secure, automated environments.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate technical security and operational concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

- Experience with cloud data platforms (especially Azure) and their security services (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD, Key Vault, Private Endpoints, Defender for Cloud, or equivalents).
- Demonstrated experience implementing data security measures: encryption, access control, data masking/anonymization, sensitivity labeling, and secure data sharing.
- Solid DevOps experience, including CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar), infrastructure-as-code, containerization (Docker), and basic orchestration concepts.
- Experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting tools in production environments.
- US Citizenship required.
Preferred Qualifications

- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Helm, or managed container services in data workloads.
- Experience with modern data stack tools that support security and automation features (dbt, Fivetran/Airbyte with secure connectors, Great Expectations or similar for data quality/security checks).
- Knowledge of zero-trust architecture principles and GitOps practices applied to Microsoft Fabric and Azure data platforms.
