  • Apply version control, CI/CD concepts, and code review standards to data engineering workflows
  • Ensure solutions meet quality criteria related to performance, scalability, and maintainability

Consulting & Collaboration

  • Work directly with client stakeholders to gather requirements, communicate technical concepts, and manage expectations
  • Collaborate with project managers, architects, and fellow consultants to align technical delivery with project goals
  • Contribute to internal documentation, reusable patterns, and knowledge sharing across Collectiv

Required Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or data platform consulting
  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric and/or Databricks in production environments (experience with both strongly preferred)
  • Strong SQL skills, including performance tuning and optimization
  • Experience designing data models for analytics (star schemas, semantic models, lakehouse patterns)
  • Experience working in cloud data platforms (Azure preferred)
  • Ability to work independently in a client-facing consulting role

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience migrating or modernizing data platforms (e.g., legacy DW to lakehouse)
  • Familiarity with Power BI dataset modeling and performance optimization
  • Experience integrating data platforms with downstream applications or APIs
  • Consulting experience with multiple clients or industries
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Relevant Azure certifications (e.g., Azure Solutions Architect, Azure Data Engineer), Fabric (DP-600, DP-700) certifications, and Databricks certifications are highly desirable

What Success Looks Like in This Role

  • Clients trust you as a technical advisor for their data platform decisions
  • Delivered solutions are scalable, well-documented, and aligned to best practices
