Youll apply strong software engineering practices including Git, CI/CD, automated testing, code review, documentation, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
Youll design executive-level dashboards, semantic models, DAX measures, and self-service reporting solutions using Power BI and related technologies.
Youll build data models, integration patterns, and pipelines across Azure, Databricks, Fabric, Postgres, and other cloud or on-premise sources.
Youll automate workflows using Python, Power Platform, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, Airflow, GitHub Actions, or similar orchestration tools.
Youll develop AI-enabled solutions and apply techniques such as forecasting, clustering, anomaly detection, and segmentation where they add measurable value.
Youll partner with stakeholders to identify data quality issues, improve processes, and translate business questions into actionable analytical solutions.

Strong software engineering fundamentals including Git, CI/CD, testing, modular code design, and debugging complex reactive applications.
Proficiency in SQL, DAX, Python, Power BI, semantic modeling, security protocols, and executive dashboard development.
Working knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Azure, Databricks, Fabric, and Postgres, with AWS or GCP considered an asset.
Experience integrating multiple data sources and resolving data quality, reconciliation, and performance challenges.
Experience building AI-powered workflow tools, with exposure to React or similar front-end technologies considered an asset.
