Tech Stack
About the role
- Design and deliver Power BI dashboards that are fast, intuitive, and built for operational decision-making, daily execution, weekly and monthly reviews, and leadership visibility
- Create clear drill-down paths from “what happened” to “where and why,” so teams can move from insight to action quickly
- Engineer the semantic layer (the product)
- Design, develop, and maintain Power BI semantic models as reusable products: clean relationships, curated fields, well-defined measures, and consistent KPI definitions
- Apply modern analytics modeling practices (fact/dimension modeling and star-schema-aligned semantic models) to improve performance, usability, and long-term maintainability
- Build curated reporting datasets in Microsoft Fabric that enable reuse across dashboards and reduce one-off reporting
- Build insights that help operations teams anticipate risk and detect emerging issues earlier; examples include trend breaks, abnormal spikes, recurring patterns, and leading indicators that warrant attention
- Expand dashboards over time to correlate operational signals across systems, including service management and observability platforms (metrics, logs, traces), as you assimilate new data sources
- Translate ambiguous operational questions into clear metric definitions, scalable models, and shippable dashboard increments
- Raise the bar on BI engineering practices: maintainable model design, performance tuning, and thoughtful UX patterns
- Use AI-assisted development tools (such as Claude Code) to speed up build/test cycles, refactoring, and documentation, while keeping engineering judgment in the loop.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Data/Analytics, or a related quantitative/technical field (advanced degree a plus)
- 5+ years of professional experience delivering enterprise BI/analytics solutions (Power BI semantic modeling, dashboard development, and data modeling)
- Deep Power BI expertise: semantic modeling, DAX, performance optimization, and dashboard UX
- Strong SQL and analytics engineering skills; ability to shape curated datasets that support dependable KPIs and drill-down analysis
- Strong analytics data modeling skills, including dimensional modeling (fact/dimension) and star-schema-aligned semantic models
- Proven collaboration with stakeholders, clarify requirements, and deliver iterative outcomes that earn adoption.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance
- Paid Time Off (PTO), and leave of absences, such as parental and military leave

- Education Benefit to help finance traditional college enrollment toward obtaining an approved degree and many accredited certificate programs
- Employee Stock Purchase Plan: Shares can be purchased at 85% of the lower of two prices (Beginning or End of the purchase period), after one year of service
- Eligibility to participate in a discretionary annual incentive program is subject to the rules governing the program, whereby an award, if any, depends on various factors including, without limitation, individual and organizational performance.
