Your Everyday at Nexi
We are looking for a motivated and technically skilled professional to join our Supply Chain team as the technical owner of our Microsoft Fabric-based Supply Chain Data Platform. This person will play a crucial role in building and developing our newly initiated Microsoft Fabric-based data platform, integrating data from SAP and various external sources.

The ideal candidate will combine hands-on data engineering expertise with the curiosity and capability to drive technical architecture discussions, translating business requirements into tangible solutions. Initially, this role will balance technical implementation (data engineering) and architecture tasks, with additional opportunities for leadership and product ownership as the platform matures.

About Your Future Role
In this position, you will:

• Own day-to-day platform operations, monitoring, troubleshooting, and incident resolution across Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Lake Storage, and source system integrations.
• Develop, maintain, and expand our Microsoft Fabric data platform, ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance.
• Design and maintain scalable data models, semantic models, and lakehouse structures that support reporting, analytics, and self-service consumption.
• Implement robust data ingestion pipelines, primarily using PySpark, from SAP and various external sources (e.g., handheld operational scanners, 3rd-party distributors).
• Collaborate closely with business stakeholders to understand and translate use cases into clear, actionable technical requirements.
• Suggest and justify enhancements to platform architecture, adhering to existing guardrails while continuously seeking improvement opportunities.
• Maintain an efficient balance between new feature development and ongoing platform maintenance.
• Act as a bridge between technical solutions and business teams, proactively communicating and facilitating data-driven decision-making across the organization.

What a Typical Day Looks Like:

• Developing and maintaining Microsoft Fabric pipelines, notebooks, and Lakehouse solutions.
• Building and optimizing PySpark and SQL-based data ingestion and transformation processes.
• Monitoring platform performance, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring reliable data delivery.
• Working closely with Supply Chain stakeholders to translate business requirements into data solutions.
• Improving platform architecture, data models, and data quality across the data platform.
• Balancing new development, platform maintenance, and operational support.
• Maintaining documentation and sharing knowledge to ensure platform continuity.
