• Enterprise Data Integration: Work alongside Data Owners, Stewards, and Engineers to validate data readiness across Google Big Query, Looker, and data warehouse sources while maintaining strict governance standards.
• AI-Assisted Workflow Integration: Responsibly utilize modern AI development platforms (Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, etc.) for SQL/DAX generation, documentation, unit testing, and workflow automation under strict human review.
• Analytics & Scripting: Write clean SQL queries, Python, or R scripts for advanced data manipulation, validation, and analytics logic.
• Maintenance & Continuous Improvement: Track dashboard usage telemetry, monitor refresh performance, optimize complex models, and ensure ongoing data accuracy.

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Finance, Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience: 5+ years of dedicated professional experience in BI, analytics, data modeling, or dashboard engineering.
• Core BI Stack: Advanced proficiency with Power BI (DAX, Power Query, semantic modeling, report publishing).
