Preferred Qualifications & Certifications Certifications: Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate (DP-203) or Microsoft Certified: Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate (DP-600) is highly advantageous. DevOps/IaC: Experience deploying data infrastructure as code using Terraform, Bicep, and managing deployments via Git/Azure DevOps.
