About this role

Join our ever-growing group of diverse talent to tackle challenging problems and create innovative solutions. At ParallelStaff, we aren't just looking to support businesses; we want to support you! Embrace courage. Spawn meaningful ideas. Build future-proof solutions.

Requirements:

6 Month contract with very solid extension options
Must have overlap with the US Central time zone. More overlap = better
Very good spoken and written English language skills

Technical Skills

Proven Microsoft Fabric Experience
- Look for direct, hands-on Fabric project experience (not just Azure Synapse or older Data Factory experience).
Strong Understanding of Lakehouse Medallion Architecture
- Contractor should be able to explain how they would design Landing ➔ Bronze ➔ Silver ➔ Gold clearly and simply.
OneLake and OneDrive Shortcut Expertise
- Verify they know how to set up OneDrive shortcuts or external storage connections into Fabric.
Fabric Pipelines and Dataflows Skills
- They must be comfortable building Fabric Pipelines (the new generation of data movement tools, not just old ADF).
- Bonus if they know Dataflow Gen2 for transformations.
Ability to Build Flexible, Parameterized Pipelines
- Look for ability to build dynamic ingestion pipelines (e.g., moving files per client, validating file names dynamically).
- They’ve parameterized pipelines (example: different folders for different clients).
Experience Handling Schema Drift and Column Changes
- Very important: they should know how to ingest changing CSV schemas without breaking Bronze ingestion.
- (e.g., new columns appear? No problem until Silver.)
Good with Fabric Notebooks (Pandas or PySpark)
- If you want validation (like checking filenames, checking column counts), they should be able to write simple Fabric Notebooks.
- Bonus if they can also set up basic data quality checks.
Metadata Management and Logging
- Should set up a tracking table or logging system for file loads — NOT just move files blindly.
- Ask if they can automate a load tracking system (filename, timestamp, client ID, status).
