  • Build and maintain production data pipelines and ETL/ELT processes using SQL and, where appropriate, Python, .NET, AWS-native services, Snowflake, or Databricks.
  • Optimize end-to-end BI performance, identifying and resolving bottlenecks across dashboards, semantic models, queries, data models, pipelines, databases/warehouses, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Apply software engineering and DevOps practices, including version control where supported, testing and data validation, CI/CD and deployment automation where applicable, release management, monitoring, and production support.
  • Lead technical design and architecture discussions, prototypes, proofs of concept, and architecture reviews, ensuring solutions meet scalability, security, accessibility, maintainability, data quality, and cost requirements.
  • Collaborate with clients and cross-functional teams to translate complex business and analytical needs into effective BI, data engineering, and data modeling solutions.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship through code, dashboard, and data model reviews; establish development standards and best practices; and guide teams through complex technical challenges.
  • Troubleshoot complex production issues across the BI and data stack, identify root causes, and implement solutions that improve reliability and performance.
  • Support project planning and technical solutioning by estimating effort, identifying risks and dependencies, evaluating technologies, and contributing to proposals and implementation approaches.
