Job description

Business Intelligence (BI) Platform Engineer

4–8 years

About the Role

We’re looking for a BI Platform Engineer who can help us build and scale our Business Intelligence layer — enabling our clients to explore, analyze, and visualize data directly through interactive dashboards and analytics tools.

Unlike a traditional BI developer focused on one-off reports or charts, this role is about designing and implementing BI systems and infrastructure — from data integration to publication — that empower users to perform self‑service analytics on top of datasets derived from uploaded documents and other data sources.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy interactive BI dashboards and tools (Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, QuickSight, or similar) for client‑facing use.
• Build self‑service BI platforms that allow clients to explore and analyze datasets independently.
• Work as part of a cross‑functional team (Backend, Data Engineering, Frontend), with strong engineering support
• Embed dashboards and analytics modules into our existing client‑facing GUI, ensuring performance, usability, access control, and multi‑tenant security.
• Retrieve and consume data from PostgreSQL or other relational databases, working with Data Engineers to define the datasets and transformations needed for analytical use cases.
• Ensure data governance, secure access, and consistency in BI deployments.
• Collaborate with UX and frontend teams to ensure a seamless client experience within the existing platform.

Required Skills & Experience

• Proven experience with at least one major BI platform (Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, QuickSight, or equivalent).
• Ability to write basic to intermediate SQL to query and explore data, with the understanding that heavy SQL, transformations, or pipeline creation will be handled by Data Engineers.
• Experience in embedding and publishing BI dashboards as part of web applications.
• Understanding of authentication, access control, and multi‑tenant security in BI solutions.
• General understanding of data integration concepts (ETL/ELT)
• Comfortable working in production environments and deploying scalable BI solutions.
• Good communication and collaboration skills; ability to work with engineers, product managers, and client‑facing teams.

Preferred

• Knowledge of Dimensional Modelling (Star/Snowflake schemas).
• Experience in data pipeline tools (e.g., Airflow, dbt, or similar). [We don' use any of those tools, as far as I know, and I'm not a big fan of "bells and whistles"‑tools; our pipelines are pretty much built on plain vanilla SQL]
• Familiarity with embedding analytics via APIs or SDKs.
• Experience in SaaS / multi‑tenant product environments.
• Some exposure to Python or Node.js for automation and data manipulation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with DevOps practices and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, ECS,Kubernetes) is an add on
• Familiarity with agile development methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban).
• Knowledge of security best practices and techniques.
• Experience working in a startup or fast‑growing tech company.
