📋 Description

• Lead the technical migration from legacy SQL Server stored procedures and ADF pipelines to Databricks Lakehouse (Delta Lake), ensuring best practice Lakehouse design. • Translate traditional relational data warehousing paradigms into scalable, distributed Lakehouse frameworks (Bronze, Silver, Gold). • Design robust, reusable ETL/ELT frameworks using PySpark, Delta Live Tables (DLT), and Databricks Workflows. • Architect and refine the Gold Layer (dimensional models, star schemas) specifically to maximize Power BI performance. • Optimize Databricks SQL Warehouses to support high-concurrency, low-latency Power BI queries (DirectQuery and Import modes). • Implement advanced optimization techniques, including Z-Ordering, data skipping, liquid clustering, and materialized views. • Define and enforce governance standards for cluster sizing, auto-scaling policies, and serverless SQL compute to balance performance with cost. • Implement proactive monitoring dashboards to track Databricks Unit (DBU) consumption and identify cost-saving opportunities. • Establish best practices for partition strategies and file size management within Delta Lake. • Design and implement a robust data security model using Unity Catalog for centralized governance. • Enforce row-level and column-level security policies to ensure compliant data access for Power BI consumers and internal analysts. • Align the Lakehouse security architecture with existing enterprise Azure Active Directory (Microsoft Entra ID) and RBAC standards. • Act as the primary technical lead, conducting dedicated pair-programming sessions, workshops, and code reviews to transition the team from SQL-centric to Spark-centric thinking. • Create comprehensive technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, design patterns, and optimization playbooks. • Build a foundational knowledge transfer framework to ensure the internal team is fully self-sufficient post-migration. • Communicate effectively verbally and in written form to both technical and non-technical audience. • Work in an organized fashion, completing tasks timely while paying close attention to details.
