Job Purpose
Design and deliver data transformation pipelines, semantic models, and BI solutions that enable reliable, self-service analytics across the organization. The role bridges data engineering and business intelligence, owning the analytical data layer from source transformation through to governed, business-ready reporting assets.
Key Result Responsibilities
- Design and maintain modular, well-tested ELT pipelines using tools such as dbt, Azure Data Factory, or equivalent orchestration frameworks.
- Build and maintain the semantic/analytical data layer in Snowflake or Microsoft Fabric, including fact and dimension tables, conformed metrics, and reusable dbt models.
- Develop production-grade Power BI reports and dashboards, including well-structured data models, DAX measures, and row-level security configurations.
- Define and implement data quality rules, testing frameworks, and monitoring to ensure accuracy and consistency of analytics outputs.
Key Result Responsibilities-Continued
- Collaborate with data analysts, business stakeholders, and data engineers to translate reporting requirements into robust, governed data assets.
- Apply and enforce dimensional modelling principles (star schema, slowly changing dimensions) to support efficient BI consumption.
- Work within Azure and Snowflake environments to manage datasets, optimize query performance, and control data access.
- Maintain clear documentation for all pipelines, semantic models, metric definitions, and report logic.
- Participate actively in code reviews and contribute to improving team standards for analytics engineering.

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Business Analytics, Statistics, or a related field.
- Fluent in English Language.
- ITIL Certification is an advantage but not mandatory.
- Strong SQL skills and solid working knowledge of Python for data transformation tasks.
- Working knowledge of dbt for transformation layer development, including tests, documentation, and lineage.
- Hands-on experience with Power BI: data modelling, DAX, report design, and workspace governance.
- Demonstrable experience delivering Power BI solutions in a professional setting.
- Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric or Azure Data Factory for pipeline orchestration and data movement.
- Solid understanding of dimensional modelling (star/snowflake schema, SCD types).
- Understanding of BI governance principles: semantic model management, certified datasets, and access control in Power BI.
Work Experience
- With 2–4 years of hands-on experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or BI development.
- Experience with Snowflake or Azure Synapse Analytics for data warehousing and query optimization.
- Experience with Git-based version control and collaborative development workflows.
