• Proficiency in reverse-engineering existing Power BI reports, including embedded business logic, transformations, calculations, data sources, and dependencies.
• Solid understanding of semantic/data models, dimensional modeling, and reusable data structures to minimize report-level logic.
• Experience with Databricks / Spark SQL or equivalent cloud data platforms and curated analytical datasets.
• Self-driven and hands-on, with the ability to independently manage assigned reporting and analysis tasks.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly in complex and poorly documented reporting environments.
• Excellent client-facing communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with business and technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity, asking pertinent questions, and proactively identifying dependencies and risks.
• Collaborative and pragmatic approach, working closely with the Data Architect and client teams while balancing immediate reporting needs with long-term modernization goals.

• 5-8+ years of experience in BI, data analytics, analytics engineering, or senior reporting/data analyst roles.
• Strong hands-on experience with Power BI, DAX, Power Query, and SQL in enterprise reporting environments.
• Proven experience analyzing and reverse-engineering existing reports to identify embedded business/data logic and dependencies.
• Experience with report rationalization/modernization and semantic or shared data models, including retain, retire, quick-fix, and rebuild assessments.
• Experience with Databricks or equivalent cloud data platforms. Python and Azure Dev Ops/Git Hub experience are preferred.
