INTRODUCTION
For over twenty-seven years RCR Technology Corporation has delivered the highest quality services to our clients with an expansive portfolio of industry-relevant services, and deep technical capabilities around data management and application development.
We are seeking a Senior Azure Data Engineer to help design, build, and operate our next-generation enterprise data platform on Microsoft Azure. You will own end-to-end delivery of data pipelines and data products that power analytics, regulatory reporting, operational dashboards, and emerging AI/ML use cases. You will partner closely with data architects, analytics engineers, data scientists, business stakeholders, and platform engineering teams to deliver reliable, performance, secure, and cost-efficient data solutions.
This role is ideal for an engineer with strong hands-on depth in Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics and/or Databricks, and modern Lakehouse patterns, who is comfortable leading migration programs (e.g., Informatica-to-ADF, on-prem warehouse-to-cloud), mentoring mid-level engineers, and shaping engineering standards across the team.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Pipeline Design & Development:
- Design and build robust, reusable, parameter-driven ingestion and transformation pipelines using Azure Data Factory, Synapse Pipelines, Data Bricks and/or Microsoft Fabric Data Factory.
- Implement medallion architecture (Bronze / Silver / Gold) on Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 using Delta Lake, Parquet, and structured streaming patterns.
- Build performant ELT workflows that leverage pushdown to source systems (Synapse Dedicated SQL Pool, Azure SQL, Teradata) where appropriate.
- Develop and optimize PySpark notebooks and jobs on Azure Databricks or Synapse Spark.
Data Modeling & Warehousing:
- Design dimensional models (Kimball star/snowflake) and data vault patterns for analytics consumption.
- Implement Slowly Changing Dimensions (Type 1/2/3), Change Data Capture, and late-arriving data patterns.
- Tune distributed SQL workloads in Synapse Dedicated SQL Pool / Fabric Warehouse, including distribution keys, partitioning, and clustered column store indexes.
Platform Engineering & DevOps:
- Implement CI/CD for data pipelines using Azure DevOps (YAML pipelines, ARM/Bicep/Terraform) across Dev / SIT / UAT / Prod environments.
- Instrument pipelines with robust logging, auditing, and monitoring using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and KQL.
- Define and enforce coding standards, code review practices, branching strategies, and release management.
Migration & Modernization:
- Lead or contribute to legacy-to-cloud migrations — e.g., Informatica PowerCenter to Azure Data Factory, on-premises Teradata / Oracle / SQL Server to Synapse or Fabric.
- Perform workload assessment, capacity planning, and cost modeling for target-state architectures.
- Production incident response for critical pipelines.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Deep hands-on expertise with Azure Data Factory: pipelines, datasets, linked services, triggers, parameterization, mapping data flows, and all three Integration Runtime types (Azure, Self-hosted, SSIS).
- Strong Experience in Data Bricks and PySpark.
- Production experience with one or more of: Azure Synapse Analytics (Dedicated and Serverless SQL Pools, Spark Pools) OR Azure Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog) OR Microsoft Fabric (Warehouse, Lakehouse, OneLake).
- Strong working knowledge of Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (hierarchical namespace, RBAC + ACLs, lifecycle management, security).
- Experience with Azure Key Vault, Azure AD / Entra ID (including managed identities and service principals), and private networking (VNet integration, private endpoints).
- Monitoring and troubleshooting with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and KQL.
- Advanced SQL — window functions, CTEs, query optimization, execution plan analysis, performance tuning.
- Strong Python for data engineering — pandas, PySpark, REST API integration, unit testing (pytest).
- Proficient in T-SQL; familiarity with Spark SQL, KQL, PowerShell, and Bash shell scripting.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of data warehouse development experience.
- 5+ years of data modeling experience using ERWIN or similar tools.
- 2+ years of experience with Azure Data Factory and Snowflake.
- Medicaid Domain Knowledge is a plus.

Entry Level Enterprise Security Architect Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level enterprise security architect job?
Employers at this level look for foundational certifications like CompTIA Security+, CISSP Associate, or CCNA Security alongside hands-on lab work or internship experience. Building a home lab, contributing to open-source security projects, and completing a capstone project that demonstrates network architecture thinking can give a candidate a clear edge over peers who rely on coursework alone.
Which companies hire entry level enterprise security architects?
Companies hiring entry level enterprise security architects right now include Molex, Boston Consulting, and Harness, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from large enterprises with dedicated security teams, federal contractors with cleared positions, and fast-growing technology firms building out their security architecture functions.
Are there remote entry level enterprise security architect jobs?
Yes, though remote availability is more limited at the entry level than at senior levels. About 44% of entry level enterprise security architect openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates who can relocate or commute will see a broader set of opportunities, particularly at organizations that prefer junior architects to work closely with senior mentors on-site.
Are these new grad enterprise security architect jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior enterprise security architect roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship or academic project work in place of professional history, or lists a degree and certifications as the primary qualifications rather than requiring prior full-time employment in a security architect role.
Which industries hire the most entry level enterprise security architects?
Entry Level enterprise security architect roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they manage large, complex infrastructure or sensitive data that requires dedicated security architecture oversight, creating structured entry points for candidates building their careers in enterprise security.
