The consultants will provide hands-on engineering support for the assessment and remediation of an enterprise Azure data platform built primarily on Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Data Factory.

The work will focus heavily on platform resiliency, disaster recovery, infrastructure automation, CI/CD, monitoring, security and operational readiness.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is not simply an Azure Data Engineer. This role requires someone who understands how an enterprise Azure data platform operates in production and can assess and improve its resiliency, disaster recovery, infrastructure automation, deployment practices, security and operational readiness.

The successful consultant will combine hands-on Azure engineering depth with the ability to clearly document findings and work collaboratively with technical leads and client stakeholders.
