Business Intellgience Engineer

Senior BI Engineer

If you know Power BI beyond just building dashboards—and care about building well-structured, scalable, and trusted data products—this is a role where you'll stand out.

Vaco is partnering with a high‑growth client to bring in a Power BI expert who will help shape data modeling, delivery, and usage across the business. This isn't about one‑off reporting. It's about building a foundation that enables better, faster decision‑making at scale.

You will sit at the intersection of data engineering and analytics—partnering with stakeholders, cleaning up complex data challenges, and delivering solutions people actually rely on.

• Define and elevate Power BI standards across the organization— from data models to governance to deployment practices.
• Build scalable semantic models and high‑performing reports that go beyond surface‑level insights.
• Partner closely with Finance, Operations, and business leaders to translate ambiguity into actionable data solutions.
• Turn messy, fragmented data into clean, usable, and trusted reporting layers.
• Optimize performance across datasets, models, and queries to ensure a seamless end‑user experience.
• Introduce and apply modern capabilities (AI, Copilot, automation) to accelerate insights and reduce manual effort.
• Drive adoption and usability—ensuring what you build actually gets used.

• Bring structure and consistency to Power BI usage across teams.
• Improve confidence in data by strengthening governance, quality, and modeling practices.
• Reduce reporting friction by designing solutions that scale and do not break under growth.
• Act as a trusted advisor who pushes for smarter ways of working with data.

• Deep experience with Power BI (DAX, semantic modeling, performance tuning, workspace governance).
• Strong SQL skills with experience building and optimizing transformations.
• Proven track record in dimensional modeling (star/snowflake schemas, scalable data design).
• Experience building and maintaining enterprise‑grade data models and reporting solutions.

• Hands‑on experience with CI/CD for Power BI (Git, Dev Ops, deployment pipelines).
• Familiarity with ELT processes and improving pipeline performance.
• Exposure to AI‑enabled reporting (Power BI Copilot or similar).
• Experience working with large, complex datasets in cloud data environments.

• Experience with self‑service analytics tools like Thought Spot.
• Background in Python or R for advanced analytics or automation.
• Exposure to modern data architecture and cloud platforms.

• You think in terms of systems, not one‑off solutions.
• You’re comfortable pushing back and asking better questions about the data.
• You balance technical depth with the ability to communicate clearly to non‑technical audiences.
• You’re naturally curious and always looking for ways to improve how things are done.
• You bring a practical, solutions‑first mindset and enjoy working cross‑functionally.
