Senior Data Modeler

Hyderabad, India In person Full-time
  • We are looking for a Senior Data Modeller
  • to support a Microsoft Fabric data platform programme for a large enterprise
  • client.

We are building a more

  • product-oriented data organisation, where trusted data assets are created once,
  • governed properly and reused across business domains. This role will help shape
  • the data models that sit at the heart of that approach.
  • The successful candidate will work across
  • source system onboarding, Fabric Lakehouse and Warehouse design, reusable
  • Silver-layer datasets, Gold-layer analytical models and Power BI semantic
  • consumption. The role is not limited to drawing data models. It requires
  • someone who can understand business processes, challenge unclear definitions,
  • define model grain, agree common entities and help engineering teams turn
  • source data into trusted, usable data assets.
  • This would suit someone with strong
  • dimensional modelling experience who has worked on modern cloud data platforms
  • and is comfortable operating between business stakeholders, architects,
  • engineers, governance teams and BI/reporting users.

What You Will

Be Doing

  • The Data Modeller will be involved in the
  • design of enterprise and domain-level data models across Microsoft Fabric. This
  • includes conceptual, logical and physical modelling for new data sources,
  • business domains and reporting use cases.
  • A key part of the role will be to help
  • define reusable datasets across the Bronze, Silver and Gold layers. Bronze will
  • largely reflect raw or source-aligned data. Silver should become the trusted,
  • standardised and reusable business-aligned layer. Gold should support
  • consumption through reporting, semantic models, dashboards, analytics and
  • future AI use cases.
  • The role will work closely with Data
  • Engineers to define source-to-target mappings, transformation rules, keys,
  • relationships, data quality checks and history handling. It will also involve
  • working with Analytics Engineers and Power BI teams to make sure downstream
  • semantic models are built on consistent and well-understood data structures.
  • The candidate will also support the
  • definition of common enterprise entities, such as customer, product, supplier,
  • location, transaction, order, contract, employee or other client-specific
  • business concepts. The exact domains will depend on the systems being
  • onboarded, but the principle is the same: create models that are clear,
  • reusable and aligned to business meaning.

Key Responsibilities

  • ●Design conceptual, logical and
  • physical data models for enterprise data onboarding and analytics use cases.
  • ●Define modelling patterns for
  • Fabric Lakehouse, Fabric Warehouse and Power BI semantic consumption.
  • ●Support the implementation of
  • Bronze, Silver and Gold data layers using Medallion Architecture principles.
  • ●Design conformed dimensions, fact
  • tables, reference data structures, master data views and analytics-ready
  • datasets.
  • ●Define model grain, business keys,
  • surrogate keys, relationships, hierarchies and history handling.
  • ●Create source-to-target mappings
  • and work with engineers to turn modelling designs into working data assets.
  • ●Help define reusable Silver-layer
  • datasets that are more than cleansed copies of source systems.
  • ●Design Gold-layer models around
  • reporting, KPIs, business questions and decision-making needs.
  • ●Work with domain teams to
  • understand business processes, data ownership, key metrics and analytical
  • requirements.
  • ●Support Power BI semantic model
  • design by ensuring data structures are clear, performant and business-friendly.
  • ●Document business definitions,
  • model assumptions, lineage, data quality rules and known limitations.
  • ●Work with governance teams to
  • align models with naming standards, glossary terms, metadata and access
  • requirements.

Expected

Outputs

  • The role is expected to produce practical
  • modelling artefacts that can be used by engineers, analysts, architects and
  • business teams. Typical outputs include:
  • ●Conceptual and logical data
  • models.
  • ●Physical model designs for Fabric
  • Lakehouse and Warehouse.
  • ●Entity relationship diagrams.
  • ●Dimensional models with facts,
  • dimensions and defined grain.
  • ●Source-to-target mapping
  • documents.
  • ●Data product or dataset
  • specifications.
  • ●Data dictionaries and business
  • definitions.
  • ●Lineage and dependency
  • documentation.
  • ●Data quality rule definitions.
  • ●Naming standards and modelling
  • design patterns.
  • ●Inputs into Power BI semantic
  • model design.
  • ●Model review packs for
  • architecture or governance forums.

Requirements

Required

Skills

  • The candidate should have strong hands-on
  • experience in enterprise data modelling and data warehousing. They should be
  • confident with dimensional modelling, including star schemas, facts,
  • dimensions, conformed dimensions and slowly changing dimensions.
  • Strong SQL is required. The person does
  • not need to be a full-time data engineer, but they should be able to read
  • transformation logic, understand joins and aggregations, and challenge whether
  • the implemented logic matches the intended business model.
  • The candidate should understand modern
  • cloud data platforms and Lakehouse concepts. Experience with Microsoft Fabric
  • is strongly preferred, especially Fabric Lakehouse, Fabric Warehouse, OneLake
  • and Power BI semantic models.
  • They should also understand the practical
  • role of governance in data modelling: naming standards, definitions, ownership,
  • lineage, quality expectations, access controls and metadata.
