The Senior Azure Data Consultant will build and maintain data pipelines, develop lakehouse solutions, optimize ETL processes, and support analytics capabilities in a Microsoft Fabric environment.
Who We Are
At Trility Consulting®, we’ve built a strong, remote-work culture where people thrive, grow, and support each other – earning us Great Place to Work® Certification. Headquartered in Central Iowa, we embrace flexible schedules and collaboration across geographically distributed teams serving clients from all corners of the United States and globally.
We seek team members with the grit necessary to forge paths where none previously existed, to get back up when circumstances knock them down, to adapt to the changing needs of the client even when it is uncomfortable, and to deliver on our commitments. Candidates must respect and value people, recognize that over-communication is barely good enough, thrive on solving complex problems, have a passion for building teams, and know that delivering what a client actually values is more important than their own predispositions. They understand value proposition, love delivering value, and take pride in learning the expansive and ever-changing business of clients. Candidates are self-motivated and relentlessly working to become more today than they were yesterday.
Trility Consulting is actively seeking a Senior Data Engineer with proven Microsoft Fabric experience to help build and scale modern data solutions within a Microsoft Fabric environment. In this role, you will work alongside Trility consultants and client engineers to implement data ingestion pipelines, develop lakehouse solutions, and support the delivery of governed analytics capabilities.
