BI Developer - Power BI | SQL | Microsoft Fabric

This is an opportunity for a BI Developer to take real ownership across SQL, Power BI and Microsoft Fabric within a business going through a significant period of development across its data and BI environment.

The role has plenty of technical depth, with strong SQL development skills at its core, alongside Power BI development, semantic modelling and end-to-end data pipelines. You’ll also play an active role in the continued development of the company’s Microsoft Fabric environment.

There is flexibility around the level of hire, although this is not a junior role. The business would welcome someone experienced who can make an immediate impact, but there is also scope to develop someone with strong core skills and the aptitude to broaden their Fabric experience.

The Role

• Complex SQL development including stored procedures, functions, joins and aggregations


• SQL performance tuning, troubleshooting and execution plans


• Designing and developing Power BI semantic models from scratch


• Power BI development, administration, performance and incremental refresh


• Building and maintaining end-to-end data pipelines


• Working within and helping develop the Microsoft Fabric environment and architecture


• Supporting data governance, source control and deployment practices


• Understanding business requirements and translating them into effective BI solutions


• Working with technical teams and business-facing Power BI Analysts across the organisation

• Strong SQL development capability, ideally with 3+ years’ commercial experience


• Good commercial Power BI development experience


• Experience designing and developing semantic/data models


• A good understanding of data pipelines and BI/data architecture


• Exposure to Microsoft Fabric is highly desirable, although strong BI Developers with the aptitude to develop their Fabric skills will be considered


• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to understand and interpret business requirements


• Comfortable taking ownership and working with a good level of autonomy


• Azure Data Factory (ADF) experience would be desirable


• Data warehousing, Power BI/Fabric administration or data governance experience would be advantageous


• DevOps, source control and Python/PySpark exposure would be useful but not essential

There’s a lot happening across the organisation’s data landscape, including major data-led business initiatives and ongoing work around data governance and source control.

The BI function has considerable autonomy, with the potential to take on a broader remit across the wider group over time. For the right person, there is plenty of scope to grow with the team and influence how the BI and data environment develops.
