Job Description

Microsoft 8012 - Chicago, IL 60611

We’re hiring a Data Engineer to build and scale a client-facing analytics platform that directly drives revenue and executive decision-making. You’ll develop Microsoft Fabric pipelines, design lake house models, and optimize Power BI performance to deliver fast, reliable insights.

This role is highly visible and impact-driven, with direct influence on client satisfaction, retention, and growth. Ideal candidates bring strong SQL, Delta Lake, and Fabric experience, along with the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly.

We're scaling fast, and we need an engineer who thinks in systems, communicates clearly, and treats client SLAs as non-negotiable.

What We Offer 

  • Competitive salary, paid weekly  
  • Next day pay on demand with DailyPay  
  • Health/Dental/Vision benefits  
  • 401K Program with matching  
  • Paid Time Off  
  • Paid Holidays  
  • Scholarship opportunities for employees and direct family members  
  • Employee Assistance Program  
  • Leadership Development Program 

Build Scalable Client Data Pipelines for scale from day one

  • Develop and maintain Microsoft Fabric pipelines and notebooks
  • Implement incremental loads, watermarking, and merge logic (Delta Lake)
  • Design ingestion patterns that support rapid onboarding of new clients
  • Engineer monitoring and observability to prevent SLA breaches while catching problems before clients do

Design Lakehouse Models for Growth

  • Implement Medallion architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold)
  • Build dimensional models for revenue-focused analytics
  • Design reusable, scalable data structures across multiple clients
  • Design data structures that don’t become someone else’s technical debt
  • Optimize partitioning and storage for predictable performance

Optimize Power BI Performance that Clients Actually Notice

  • Improve Direct Lake and semantic model performance in Power BI
  • Reduce refresh times and memory usage
  • Partner with BI developers to maintain high modeling standards

Improve Platform Efficiency That Protects Margin

  • Monitor Fabric capacity usage and workload patterns
  • Optimize refresh strategies and reduce compute spikes
  • Contribute to GitHub workflow and future dbt integration roadmap

Your efforts will have a direct influence on:

  • Time-to-market for new client dashboards
  • Client satisfaction and retention
  • SLA performance and reporting reliability
  • Analytics delivery margins through efficient capacity use

This is a role where engineering decisions influence real revenue outcomes.

Qualifications

Required

  • 4–7 years of data engineering experience
  • Strong SQL and hands-on Delta Lake experience
  • Microsoft Fabric experience that you’ve built, not just read about
  • Dimensional modeling you can defend in a design review
  • Power BI semantic model optimization experience
  • Experience building scalable ingestion frameworks
  • A track record in client-facing or revenue-driven analytics environments
  • Critical thinking skills
  • Exceptional communication skills, written and verbal, that translate complex technical decisions for non-technical audiences
  • A growth mindset, you're energized by hard problems, not slowed down by them, strong team player

Preferred

  • dbt experience
  • GitHub-based development workflows and CI/CD experience
  • Agile mindset and development experience

Role Impact

This isn't a maintenance role or a "keep the lights on" position. You'll be shaping architecture in a platform that's still being built, which means your opinions matter, your patterns get adopted, and your fingerprints end up on something that scales.

As the client base grows, so does the scope. The engineer who steps into this role has a clear path toward owning architectural standards and platform strategy.

You design for scale before scale is a problem. You write documentation people actually read. You understand that a slow dashboard isn't just a technical issue; it's a client relationship issue. And you're the kind of engineer who flags risks before they become incidents.

Growth Opportunity

As our client base grows, this role will assume greater responsibility for shaping architectural standards and platform scalability decisions. You'll report directly to the Director of Analytics & BI. We are a small, senior team, which means less bureaucracy, more ownership, and your work is visible immediately.

If you’re excited about building a scalable data platform that directly drives client success and revenue growth, we’d love to talk.
