Senior Microsoft Fabric Platform Administrator

We are seeking a Senior Microsoft Fabric Platform Administrator to operate and scale one of the largest Fabric implementations globally.

This role is responsible for automating, governing and optimizing the platform at scale, with a strong emphasis on AI-driven operations, monitoring and enforcement. You will ensure the platform is stable, secure, cost-efficient and self-governing, leveraging automation and AI to reduce manual overhead and enforce standards.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for Fabric, including domains, workspaces, lakehouses, pipelines, capacities, security and permissions
• Develop parameterized deployment frameworks for multi-environment consistency (dev/test/prod), manage CI/CD pipelines for Fabric artifacts and maintain reusable templates and golden paths
• Leverage AI-assisted scripting tools to accelerate IaC development and validation, implement AI-based drift detection between environments and automate template generation using AI recommendations
• Enforce naming conventions, tagging, ownership and lifecycle policies while preventing workspace sprawl via automated controls and aligning configurations with enterprise governance standards
• Apply AI to detect governance violations, orphaned assets and non-compliant usage patterns, and enable AI-driven recommendations for governance improvements
• Administer tenant settings, feature enablement, capacity allocation, licensing strategies, regional configurations and identity integrations across the enterprise
• Optimize capacity allocation and licensing usage with AI insights, predict demand spikes, recommend scaling strategies and identify underutilized resources
• Track capacity performance and system health, optimize cost and resource utilization, monitor adoption patterns and lead incident response and troubleshooting
• Deploy predictive monitoring for capacity saturation, failures and bottlenecks, and use AI for root cause analysis and real-time anomaly detection
• Implement role-based access control (RBAC), manage audit logs and compliance reporting, enforce data access governance with security teams and oversee privileged access management
• Apply AI for threat detection, unusual access pattern recognition, automated audit analysis and identification of excessive or risky permissions
• Coordinate platform upgrades, feature rollouts and release management activities

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in platform administration, cloud operations or data platform engineering
• Expertise in Microsoft Fabric administration, including domains, workspaces, lakehouses and capacities
• Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), parameterized deployment frameworks and CI/CD pipelines for Fabric artifacts
• Background in tenant administration, licensing strategies and identity integrations at enterprise scale
• Skills in governance enforcement, including naming conventions, tagging, ownership and lifecycle policies
• Competency in role-based access control (RBAC), audit logging, compliance reporting and privileged access management
• Knowledge of monitoring, capacity performance optimization, cost management and incident response
• Familiarity with AI-assisted scripting tools, drift detection, anomaly detection and predictive monitoring
• Understanding of change control and release management for large-scale platform environments
