Job description

Senior BI Platform Engineer - Power BI / Looker / Snowflake

We are looking for a Senior BI Platform Engineer to help support an enterprise Business Intelligence environment and a major data and reporting modernization initiative.

The team is evolving its data platform toward Snowflake and implementing modern reporting capabilities. We're looking for someone who understands how BI platforms operate within a business and can help answer the important technical questions: What needs to change? What isn't working? How should the reporting platform connect to the data? And how do we successfully implement and deploy it?

Responsibilities

• Provide technical expertise across enterprise Business Intelligence and reporting platforms

• Implement, integrate, and deploy BI solutions in a production business environment

• Work with Power BI and other enterprise BI technologies

• Support Looker as part of the organization's evolving reporting environment

• Troubleshoot complex reporting, data, query, and integration issues

• Use SQL to investigate data issues and validate reporting results

• Support data platform modernization and migration to Snowflake

• Work with AWS and cloud-based data environments

• Evaluate existing reporting processes and recommend technical improvements

• Partner with business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions

• Support BI platform testing, validation, releases, and production deployments

• Help establish best practices around reporting, data modeling, query performance, and platform usage

• Document solutions, processes, and technical standards

• Collaborate with engineers, developers, data teams, and business partners

• Provide knowledge transfer and support to internal teams

Required Experience

• Strong hands-on Power BI experience

• Strong SQL skills

• Experience implementing and deploying enterprise BI solutions

• Experience integrating BI/reporting platforms with data sources

• Experience with Snowflake

• Experience with AWS

• Strong understanding of data modeling, reporting, and analytics environments

• Experience troubleshooting BI platform and data issues

• Experience working with business stakeholders

• Strong communication and problem-solving skills

Preferred Experience

• Looker administration or implementation

• IBM Cognos / Cognos Analytics

• Git/GitHub

• BI platform migration or modernization

• Enterprise data warehouse environments

• Cloud migration

• Data governance and reporting standards

The Ideal Candidate

We're looking for someone who is more than a dashboard developer. You should be comfortable getting into the data, understanding how the BI platform is connected, identifying problems, recommending changes, and then helping integrate, implement, test, and deploy the solution.

If you have experience supporting enterprise BI platforms and enjoy working between business stakeholders, data, and technology, this could be a strong fit.
