What You'll DoWe are seeking a visionary Associate Technical Director to lead the development and implementation of innovative technical solutions across our diverse portfolio of projects, including modern data and analytics platforms built on Microsoft Fabric. In this role, you will be instrumental in defining architectural visions, collaborating with clients to clarify project requirements, advocating for the value of robust architecture, and fostering collaboration to achieve optimal project outcomes.
Here's how you'll do it:
- Architect Solutions: Define elegant system architecture that meets complex project requirements, from application and integration layers to unified data platforms on Microsoft Fabric, then drive clarity, alignment, and execution of these architectures.
- Deliver Results: Provide end-to-end technical leadership and supervision for projects, navigating scope, risks, and 3rd parties to ensure successful delivery within budget and timeline; also lead the delivery of technically-focused initial engagements such as code audits and POC phases.
- Oversee Delivery: Provide oversight and direction for a portfolio of client engagements.
We'd Love to Hear From You If- You have 5+ years of experience in solution architecture and technical design. Do you specialize in cloud architecture and integration solutions? Demonstrate knowledge and experience in system design, API development, infrastructure management, and architectural best practices.
- You have 8+ years of leadership experience in technical teams. You define, inspire, and drive the execution of architectural visions across multiple projects.
- You've built on Microsoft Fabric. You have hands-on experience designing and delivering production solutions on Microsoft Fabric, including OneLake, lakehouse and warehouse design, Data Factory pipelines, and Power BI semantic models. You can guide clients through moving from legacy Azure data services or on-prem BI into Fabric, and you understand capacity planning, governance, and security in a Fabric environment.
- You are a force multiplier. You're interested in client engagements and all subsequent project discussions. You want to collaborate with cross-functional teams and present a unified and strategic vision for every initiative.
- You're using tomorrow's best practices. You stay informed about the latest technology trends and industry standards. You also understand that the best architectural solution is the one that aligns with business objectives and user needs.
- You're competent to the core. You grasp the foundational principles of system architecture-from scalability to security to performance optimization and beyond.
- You are persuasive with clients. Your presentations are compelling, insightful, and impactful. More importantly, you listen actively. It's how you always know the right questions to ask and the solutions to propose.
Required Skills- Technical Proficiency: A deep understanding of various technologies, programming languages, frameworks, and architecture patterns (e.g., microservices, cloud computing, APIs) is essential.
- Architectural Design: Ability to design scalable, reliable, and maintainable architectures that align with business goals and technical requirements.
- Delivery Management: Managing projects effectively, including scope, timelines, and resources, is essential for successful solution delivery.
- Client Consulting: Understanding client needs, industry dynamics, and business processes is essential for providing tailored solutions that drive value and meet specific client objectives.
- Microsoft Fabric: Proven experience architecting and delivering solutions on Microsoft Fabric, including data engineering, data warehousing, and analytics workloads, with a working knowledge of related Azure data services.
