Senior Data Engineer (Microsoft Fabric)
Summary
This role involves configuring Microsoft Fabric platforms and building data ingestion and transformation pipelines for clients. The engineer will manage the full delivery lifecycle, including architecture design, governance, and knowledge transfer to client teams.
Jora Malaysia will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.
Working as part of the delivery team and alongside the client's people, you will stand up and configure the Fabric platform, build the ingestion and transformation pipelines, and take the solution through validation, deployment and knowledge transfer.
This is a delivery-focused, client-facing role for an engineer who combines deep, practical Fabric experience with a strong understanding of the architecture and principles behind it — someone who can both build the platform and explain and defend the design decisions to technical and business stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Provision and configure Microsoft Fabric capacities, workspaces, semantic models and supporting Azure services (e.g. Storage, Key Vault).
- Deploy the Agile Insights Fabric Admin & Governance Pack and ETL framework to support robust, well-governed data platform operations.

- SQL & modelling: proficiency in SQL and data modelling, and handling both structured and unstructured data.
- Security & governance: familiarity with security, governance and deployment best practice in enterprise data environments.
