Microsoft Fabric DevOps CI/CD (DEV/TEST/PROD) & Agentic AI

We build Microsoft Fabric data platforms, Power BI dashboards, web applications and AI solutions for our clients. We are looking for an experienced freelancer to design and implement a reusable CI/CD setup for Microsoft Fabric, then connect it to our existing AI-assisted development process. Our next step is to let our agent propose workspace changes through Git and deploy approved changes through a controlled release process. Our environment - Microsoft Fabric with Bronze, Silver and Gold lakehouses. - Fabric notebooks and dimensional models with fact, dimension and bridge tables. - Power BI semantic models and reports. - Azure DevOps and Azure Repos. - An existing agent repository with custom skills, instructions and human approval steps. What you will do - Assess our current setup and recommend a practical CI/CD architecture. - Define the repository structure, branching strategy and DEV/TEST/PROD workspace setup. - Configure Fabric Git integration with Azure Repos. - Implement repeatable deployments using appropriate Fabric deployment capabilities, Azure Pipelines and APIs. - Handle environment-specific configuration, connections, dependencies and permissions. - Add validation, approval gates, deployment logging and a tested recovery procedure. - Define how our agent can create reviewable changes and invoke the release process after approval. - Document the setup and transfer ownership to our team. Expected delivery We want to start with one representative pilot, then turn the proven setup into a reusable approach for other clients. The initial engagement should deliver: - A clear architecture and implementation plan. - A working DEV-to-TEST deployment for an agreed set of Fabric items. - A controlled path to PROD, including approval and post-deployment checks. - A demonstrated workflow from an agent-generated change to a reviewed deployment. - Reusable configuration or templates, documentation and a handover session. You should explicitly identify unsupported items, platform limitations and any manual steps. We value a maintainable solution that our team can operate independently. Experience we need - Hands-on Microsoft Fabric CI/CD implementation experience. - Azure DevOps, Azure Repos, Git and YAML pipelines. - Fabric workspaces, notebooks, lakehouses and Power BI deployment dependencies. - Python or PowerShell and REST API automation. - Secure authentication and environment separation. - Ability to explain technical choices clearly and work with our developers. Experience with Claude Code or other coding agents is a strong advantage. Proven Fabric deployment experience is essential. When applying, please include - A relevant Fabric CI/CD project you personally implemented and your role. - Your proposed approach to the first pilot. - Important limitations or dependencies you would investigate first. - Your experience integrating AI agents into development and release workflows. - Your availability and estimated effort for discovery and the pilot. Successful delivery may lead to further work on automation and rollout across client environments.
