Fabric Data Engineer

🚀 Data Engineer | Microsoft Fabric / Azure | London

📍 Location: Camden, London (4 days per week onsite)

💰 Salary: £65,000 - £75,000

📄 Permanent Position

I'm working with an established, commercially successful London business that's investing in a significant modernisation of its data platform, moving from Azure Synapse to Microsoft Fabric.

Having recently strengthened their senior engineering capability, they're now looking for a mid-level Data Engineer to join the team and play a key part in this transformation.

This is a great opportunity for someone who's already gained commercial experience with Microsoft Fabric and wants to develop further, working alongside an experienced Senior Data Engineer and an incoming Fabric Platform Architect.

The business already has a well-established Azure data environment, so the challenge isn't simply building something from scratch. It's about modernising the existing platform, improving engineering practices and helping deliver a successful migration to Fabric, whilst continuing to support business-critical data services.

What you'll be doing:

• Developing, maintaining and optimising data pipelines across Azure Synapse, Azure Data Factory and Microsoft Fabric.

• Supporting the migration of existing data workloads from Synapse and Power BI into Fabric, gradually taking ownership of individual workstreams.

• Working with Fabric Lakehouses, Warehouses, Pipelines, Notebooks and semantic models.

• Helping improve data quality, governance, monitoring and engineering standards across the platform.

• Collaborating with senior engineers, architects and business stakeholders to deliver reliable, scalable data solutions.

What I'm looking for:

• Commercial hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric, ideally building pipelines, Lakehouses or Warehouses.

• A solid foundation in Azure Data Engineering, particularly Azure Synapse, ADF and SQL.

• Experience developing and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines and data models.

• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD and modern data engineering practices.

• An understanding of data governance, security and quality, alongside exposure to Power BI.

• Someone who's curious, collaborative and keen to learn from experienced engineers whilst taking ownership of their own work.

Why is this interesting?

You're joining at an exciting point in the business's data journey, with a major platform migration underway and a growing engineering team around you.

You'll have the opportunity to work on a meaningful transformation programme, gain deeper exposure to Microsoft Fabric and develop your skills alongside experienced technical specialists.

Importantly, they're not looking for someone who knows absolutely everything. They want a capable, hands-on engineer with a good technical foundation, some real-world Fabric experience and the right attitude to keep developing.

If you're a Data Engineer working across Azure and Microsoft Fabric and looking for an opportunity to grow your technical skills whilst contributing to a significant platform modernisation, I'd be keen to have a conversation.
