Senior BI Developer
Duration: Contact to Hire – Expected Permanent Conversion
- We are seeking a Senior BI Developer with deep expertise in Power BI, with a strong preference for experience in Microsoft Fabric. This role is not project‐based; instead, it focuses on developing proofs of concept, enhancing existing dashboards, and supporting ongoing ad hoc reporting needs.
- A current example includes updating an existing rebates dashboard to align with upcoming program changes that will impact calculations, metrics, and KPIs.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with business stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into effective technical solutions.
- Enhance, optimize, and maintain existing Power BI dashboards, including complex calculations, business logic, drill‐downs, and cross‐filtering.
- Build and refine semantic models, including assessing current models and rebuilding them according to best practices.
- Collaborate with Data Engineering to understand data availability, identify gaps, and articulate data needs—without performing hands‐on data engineering.
- Query data in Snowflake and/or Databricks to support reporting and model development.
- Create and maintain documentation for reports, metrics, calculations, and BI artifacts.
- Support a team that currently includes a business analyst with limited Power BI depth and a data engineer who has built foundational but patchwork data resources.
Qualifications
- Expert‐level DAX skills, including advanced calculations and business logic.
- Proficiency in SQL.
- Experience querying data in Snowflake and/or Databricks (querying only; no engineering required).
- Proven ability to work directly with business stakeholders to gather requirements and deliver BI solutions.
- Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree preferred, ideally in Computer Science or a related field.
Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)
- Experience with Looker, particularly for customer‐facing reporting.
- DAX or Power BI certifications, with a preference for SQLBI certifications over standard Microsoft certifications.
