Cloud Data Engineer - Portugal

We're looking for a Cloud Data Engineer to join a freelance long-term project with one of the world's leading professional services firms. Hybrid role — 2 days/week in Lisbon.

You'll be at the center of a serious data platform build: end-to-end architectures, Azure-native stack, Medallion patterns, pipeline optimization. Not a maintenance gig — this is a foundational role with real architectural ownership that evolves over time.

What you'll be working with:

• Microsoft Azure: Fabric, Azure Data Factory, Synapse
• Data lakes & warehouses: Azure Data Lake, Delta Lake, BigQuery, Redshift
• Python (Pandas, Boto3), SQL, Spark
• RDBMS (Oracle, MS SQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Elasticsearch)
• CI/CD pipelines for data solutions (DataOps)
• Data quality, lineage tracking, monitoring at scale

What we're looking for:

• Solid experience designing end-to-end data architectures (Medallion or similar)
• Hands-on with Azure cloud-native tooling
• DevOps/DataOps mindset — not just building, but maintaining and scaling
• Strong English — written and verbal

The setup: Hybrid Lisbon (2 days/week on-site). Freelance engagement via a Shakers, tech talent community that connects senior engineers with top international clients.
