Atmosera Logo

Principal Consultant, Data & AI (Remote US)

Job Description

Atmosera empowers businesses to redefine what’s possible with modern technology and human expertise. Our exceptional experience across Applications, Data & AI, DevOps, Security, and the Microsoft Azure platform enables organizations to accelerate innovation, enhance security, and optimize operational agility. As a Microsoft Partner with nine specializations, GitHub AI Partner of the Year, a member of the GitHub Advisory Board, and a member of the prestigious Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), Atmosera expertly delivers cutting-edge, integrated solutions that deliver business value.

This role reports to the Director of Professional Services and is part of the Professional Services team. The team partners closely with Sales, Solution Architects and Professional Services delivery peers to deliver diverse, high value solutions to customers.

Your Impact

You are joining us to serve as a deep subject-matter expert who generates and promotes new delivery approaches and methodologies, operating with near-complete autonomy and, at the top of this band, holding the firm’s highest individual-contributor technical authority.

Your day-to-day will involve leading the firm’s most technically complex Microsoft technology engagements and serving as the ultimate technical escalation for the practice, owning pre-sales technical authority for the firm’s largest and most strategically significant opportunities, defining technical standards and mentoring Sr Consultants, progressing to setting architecture decisions and methodology frameworks across the entire practice, all aimed at strengthening Atmosera’s technical reputation and delivery capability well beyond your own engagements, as a trusted advisor to leadership, customers, and the industry.

What Success Looks Like

We measure success by results and alignment. Here is how we define a “win” for this role over your first year:

After 90 Days

  • The Foundation: Take ownership of technical authority on at least one of the firm’s most complex active engagements.

  • The Integration: Build a working advisory relationship with the Director and Manager, and begin contributing input on capability gaps or emerging technology opportunities.

  1. The Contribution: Lead a pre-sales technical scoping effort or executive-level solution presentation on a significant opportunity.

After 1 Year

  • Your Impact: Resolve the most complex and ambiguous technical problems across engagements, including those carrying the highest delivery risk practice-wide.

  • Your Growth: Sustain multiple Microsoft Expert/Specialty-level certifications at the leading edge of the practice; at the top of this band, build recognized Microsoft/industry subject-matter-authority standing (speaking, publishing, or community leadership) in your specialization.

  • Your Influence: Directly shape practice strategy, capability investment, or offering development recommendations that the Director acts on.

The Skill Matrix

Required Skills (The Non-Negotiables)

  • 10+ years of experience in technical consulting, collaborating with sales, solution architecture, and delivery.

  • Certification Requirement (at entry): Microsoft Expert or Specialty-level certification required in your primary specialization; active engagement with the Microsoft partner ecosystem.

  • Role-Specific Mastery - Extensive delivery experience on enterprise Microsoft technology engagements with deep expertise in a primary specialization, progressing to industry-recognized expertise at the top of this band.

  • Tech includes: Microsoft Fabric (Lakehouse/Warehouse, pipelines, notebooks, OneLake), Power BI (semantic modeling, DAX, governance and capacity), SQL, Python/PySpark, Databricks, Azure DevOps/GitHub CI/CD for data, and Azure data services, Microsoft Foundry, Copilot Studio.

  • Operational Excellence - Track record of defining and driving delivery standards at a team or practice level; demonstrated ability to generate new delivery methodologies adopted at practice, and eventually industry, scale.

  • Communication - Strong executive communication skills; able to represent the firm credibly in customer, partner, and public-facing contexts.

  • Collaboration - Experience influencing strategy and investment decisions at a leadership level without formal management authority.

  • Problem Solving - Ability to operate with minimal direction, serving as the ultimate technical escalation point and resolving problems that carry the highest levels of ambiguity and risk.

  • Ability to travel up to 25% as engagements require

Nice to Have (The Bonus Points)

  • Multiple Microsoft Expert/Specialty-level certifications across adjacent specializations already in hand.

  • Active engagement with the Microsoft partner ecosystem or broader industry community (speaking, publishing, advisory boards).

How We Show Up

These ‘Core Three’ represent the heartbeat of Atmosera. They are the behaviors and attributes we align to every day, defining how we interact, solve problems, and celebrate our wins together. This is simply who we are at our best.

  • Humble: We share credit easily, admit when we’re wrong, and view every mistake as a data point for growth.

  • Hungry (Internal Drive): We have a natural bias for action. We don’t wait for permission to solve a problem or find a better way to do things.

  • Mindful (Intentional Awareness): We are conscious of our impact on the team. We listen more than we speak and respond to challenges with empathy and situational awareness.

Our Interview Process

We value your time and aim for transparency. Our typical interview process may vary slightly, but here’s what you can expect:

  1. Talent Screen: A conversation about your background and the role mission.

  2. The Impact & Attributes Assessment: The “How” (Cultural DNA and The Core Three).

  3. Collaborator Loop: The “What” (Required Skills and Core Capabilities). This stage may require a presentation or work sample.

  4. Final Alignment: Closing conversation with Leadership.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
