HC has partnered with a global consumer products organization looking for a Data Solutions Engineer who is responsible for designing, building, and optimizing scalable data architecture, backend services, and system integrations that support enterprise reporting and automation initiatives. This is a senior individual contributor role operating independently in production environments. While Power BI proficiency is required, this role is defined by strong data architecture, backend engineering, and systems thinking — not dashboard development.

• Design and optimize scalable SQL-based data architecture
• Build and maintain ETL pipelines and staging layers
• Develop and consume REST APIs for system integrations
• Build lightweight backend services (C# / .NET preferred)
• Improve system performance through indexing, tuning, and execution plan analysis
• Replace manual workflows with automated backend processes
• Design reusable data services spanning ERP, WMS, and external vendor systems
• Build and optimize Power BI semantic models with strong DAX logic
• Maintain clean separation between data modeling and visualization layers

• 7+ years of professional experience in data development, backend development, or data engineering
• 5+ years of advanced SQL Server development
• 3+ years of hands‑on API and system integration work
• 3+ years building BI semantic models (Power BI or comparable platforms)
• Demonstrated ability to operate independently in production environments

• Strong T‑SQL skills: stored procedures, CTEs, window functions, indexing strategies
• Performance tuning and execution plan analysis
• Experience designing star schema and hybrid data models
• ETL and staging layer design
• Comfortable working with medium‑to‑large datasets (10M+ rows)
• Understanding of normalization vs. denormalization trade‑offs

• Experience consuming REST APIs (JSON-based)
• Backend development experience (C# / .NET preferred)
• Familiarity with OAuth, token‑based authentication, and API key management
• Error logging, retry logic, and resilient integration design

• Ability to design lightweight integration services
• Understanding of asynchronous processing concepts

• Experience replacing manual processes with automated workflows
• Ability to design reusable backend data services
• Understanding of cross‑system dependencies (ERP, WMS, external vendors)
• Strong architectural thinking and structured problem‑solving

• Advanced DAX knowledge: row vs. filter context, CALCULATE, SUMX, DATEADD, time intelligence functions
• Experience building reusable, well‑structured semantic models
• Power BI performance optimization techniques
• Understanding of incremental refresh and dataset sizing
• Clear ability to separate data modeling from visualization design
• Power BI is required; emphasis is on modeling and DAX, not visual design

• Microsoft Certified:
  Power BI Data Analyst Associate (PL-300)
• Microsoft Certified:
  Azure Data Engineer Associate (DP-203)
• Microsoft Certified:
  Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204)
• SQL Server certifications (e.g., legacy MCSA SQL track)
• API or backend‑related certifications
