Data Product & Platform Operations Engineer

About the Company
At Avaron, you get the security of permanent employment combined with the variety of working at different customers. We place specialists across everything from tech, IT and industry to project management and business support – and whatever the assignment, you have a consultant manager who is there for you and your development.
About the Role
You will help strengthen a self-service data platform in a global retail environment where governed reporting, reusable data products, and scalable platform operations are becoming increasingly important. The focus is hands-on: building data products on Microsoft Fabric while turning platform standards into operational ways of working that teams can actually use.
You will work across both platform and reporting needs, combining data engineering with governance, observability, and FinOps. That means shaping how data products are built, monitored, documented, and supported over time. This is a role for you if you enjoy moving between engineering depth and platform-wide improvement in an environment that is still taking shape, where your patterns and decisions will have lasting impact.
Job DescriptionYou build data products end to end on Microsoft Fabric, from ingestion to Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers, modeling, and publication.
You create reusable templates, parameterized pipelines, metadata-driven ingestion, notebook libraries, and repeatable delivery patterns.
You implement data contracts, metadata standards, lifecycle controls, ownership information, and governance practices that support domain-owned data products.
You strengthen catalog, lineage, classification, ownership, and data quality capabilities using Microsoft Purview and Fabric-native functionality.
You define quality checks, validation rules, certification criteria, and operational controls for reliable delivery.
You build and maintain dashboards for platform health, pipeline reliability, refresh status, usage, incidents, and cost visibility.
You track SLAs and SLOs, improve monitoring, establish runbooks and incident routines, and drive continuous improvement in platform support.
You manage day-to-day FinOps work, including capacity utilization, cost allocation, showback, anomaly detection, and optimization recommendations.
You support domain teams as they onboard to platform standards and ways of working, and contribute to reporting-focused Gold-layer preparation when needed.

Experience with monitoring, operational reporting, platform support, and troubleshooting.
