Public Sector | Melbourne | 2.5-year fixed term
Build the platform. Set the standard.
A large, well-funded transformation program is moving its core systems onto a modern Microsoft data stack. The platform is being designed with a systems integration partner, and now they need the person who will own it technically, from the first pipeline to the architecture patterns every solution will follow.
This is a hands-on engineering and data governance role, leading from the front. You'll build, you'll set the standards, and you'll work closely with the SI partner to completion.
What you'll own
Legacy to target:
Design and build the tooling and pipelines that move data from existing systems into the new workplace
Dataverse governance:
Define how Dataverse is configured and validate SI partner designs against those standards
Fabric governance:
Set the guardrails for Fabric, validate partner designs, and carry the design and build forward beyond the SI engagement
Solution patterns:
Establish the architecture and design principles that apply across every solution on the program
Partner relationship:




Be the technical counterpart to the SI partner's resources, collaborative but clear on quality
What you'll bring
Hands-on Microsoft Fabric implementation experience
Dataverse design and setup
Strong data engineering fundamentals, including Azure Data Factory and the wider Azure data stack
Semantic and lineage modelling
Experience reviewing and challenging third-party designs while keeping a working relationship intact
A background as a Senior Microsoft Data Engineer or Fabric Platform Lead, or something equivalent
Highly regarded
DP-600 (Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate)
DP-700 (Fabric Data Engineer Associate)
Why this role
Real ownership: you set the patterns rather than inheriting them
Work with Fabric and Dataverse at enterprise scale on a visible, executive-sponsored program
A fixed-term role with a defined scope and a clear finish line
A collaborative team and hybrid working (minimum 3 days onsite)
