About Alkemiz
Alkemiz is a direct-hiring IT services company focused on data engineering, analytics, and platform architecture. We build and manage modern data platforms — particularly on Microsoft Fabric — and our teams work hands-on with Lakehouse architecture, Power BI, and cloud data engineering to deliver real business outcomes for retail-focused clients. We operate a close-knit offshore-onshore delivery model, giving our engineers exposure to Australian retail data challenges within a collaborative, technically strong team that values good architecture, practical judgement, and ownership.
💼 About the Role
Alkemiz is looking for a Fabric Data Lead to serve as the technical authority for our Microsoft Fabric estate — ensuring it is well governed, fit for purpose, and aligned to business needs.
The Fabric Data Lead applies strong design and architecture principles with practical judgement, leading DataOps delivery to balance agility, scalability, quality, and performance. You'll work closely with the Power BI reporting team to understand retail reporting requirements, then design data engineering solutions and semantic models that follow sound architecture patterns within operational constraints.

Solution Design & Delivery
📌 Translate analytics and business requirements into clear technical requirements and delivery plans
📌 Apply Fabric best practices and DataSecOps principles to design robust, scalable, maintainable solutions
📌 Ensure relational data models, notebook code, SQL procedures, semantic models, and other artefacts are optimised and well designed
📌 Lead the team to deliver well-architected solutions, using AI responsibly under strong human judgement and accountability
