Job description

Description

As a Senior BI Engineer, you'll turn data into insight that shapes how our organization makes decisions. Working primarily in Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Databricks, you'll design, build, and refine business intelligence solutions, from semantic models to reports, that support the success of our franchise owners, clients, and associates.

You'll work closely with stakeholders and business leaders to understand their goals, translate them into clear data requirements, and deliver solutions that inform strategy. Along the way, you'll help strengthen data literacy across the organization, uphold high standards for data governance and confidentiality, and optimize our architecture for performance and scalability.

Our business moves quickly, and this role moves with it. Beyond core BI work, you'll take on special projects, such as evaluating emerging technologies or helping franchisees solve operational challenges, where adaptability and sound judgment matter as much as technical depth.

Express Employment International believes in the value of in-person collaboration to support teamwork, creativity and connection. Employees in this position are expected to work a hybrid schedule, a mix of home and office based work, aligned towards business and department-respective needs.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Analyze complex datasets from diverse sources (e.g., proprietary systems, third-party applications, financial systems, surveys) using statistical methods to identify trends and deliver actionable reports that enhance franchise, client, and associate experiences.
• Design and develop Power BI reports and semantic models, applying best practices for data flows, DAX, star schema design, and performance optimization to support business insights.
• Update and enhance Power BI semantic models, adding new fields, measures, optimizing DAX performance, and ensuring alignment with data governance standards.
• Administer the Power BI environment, managing workspaces, dataflows, gateways, user access, and security (RLS, OLS) to ensure compliance with organizational standards.
