  • Create/oversee pipelines and transformations in Microsoft Fabric (ingestion, orchestration, data shaping)
  • Ensure performance, reliability, and data quality across all integrations, including monitoring, alerting, and automated recovery where appropriate.
  • Partner with data engineering and analytics teams to ensure Dynamics 365 data is curated and modeled for downstream consumption in semantic models, and BI tools.
  • Collaborate with platform and solution architects on environment strategy, solution layering, and ALM for Dynamics and integration components.
  • Champion secure-by-design and compliant-by-default practices, including data protection, access control, logging, and auditability.
  • Contribute to and enforce governance standards for API usage, event topics, schema management, and data contracts.
  • Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, and business stakeholders to prioritize work, clarify trade-offs, and ensure solutions are tied to measurable outcomes.
  • Mentor and guide engineers. Provide clear technical direction to onshore/offshore teams and partner vendors, ensuring consistent implementation quality.
