Job Description: Advance Software Engineer – Data Visualization, AI & Automation
Role Summary
We are looking for an Engineer II – Data Visualization, AI & Automation to design and deliver data-driven solutions that convert complex business information into actionable insights and automate repetitive business processes.
The ideal candidate will combine strong Power BI and data visualization skills with hands-on experience in automation, Python, AI/GenAI technologies, and the Microsoft Power Platform. This role requires an engineering mindset: understanding business problems, designing scalable solutions, developing and testing them, deploying them reliably, and continuously improving them.
Key Responsibilities
Data Visualization & Business Intelligence
- Design, develop, and maintain interactive Power BI dashboards and reports for operational and business decision-making.
- Translate business requirements and KPIs into intuitive, actionable visualizations.
- Build efficient semantic/data models, measures, calculated columns, and business logic using DAX.
- Perform data transformation and preparation using Power Query / M.
- Integrate data from sources such as SQL databases, Excel, SharePoint, APIs, and enterprise applications.
- Apply appropriate visualization principles, drill-downs, filtering, navigation, and storytelling techniques.
- Improve report performance, usability, maintainability, and data quality.
AI & Generative AI
- Develop prototypes and solutions that apply AI/Generative AI to business and engineering use cases.
- Build AI-assisted workflows for activities such as information retrieval, summarization, classification, knowledge discovery, and productivity enhancement.
- Integrate AI capabilities with existing dashboards, applications, or automated workflows where they provide measurable value.
- Evaluate AI-generated output for accuracy, reliability, security, and suitability for the intended business use.
- Stay current with evolving technologies such as Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI services, Azure OpenAI, and AI-enabled Power Platform capabilities.
Automation
- Identify opportunities to eliminate repetitive manual activities through automation.
- Design, develop, test, document, deploy, and maintain automated workflows.
- Build solutions using technologies such as Power Automate, Python, Power Apps, APIs, and scripting.
- Develop reusable automation components and standardized solutions rather than one-off scripts where appropriate.
- Troubleshoot automation failures and implement appropriate exception handling, logging, and monitoring.
- Continuously improve existing automation solutions based on user feedback and changing requirements.
The internal automation JD similarly calls for engineers to build high-quality automation solutions, write and document code, address escalations, identify system improvements, and stay current with technology.
Data & Engineering
- Write efficient SQL queries for extraction, transformation, validation, and analysis of data.
- Use Python for data manipulation, automation, API integration, and AI-based solutions.
- Understand data structures, relationships, APIs, and common integration patterns.
- Follow software engineering practices including version control, code reviews, testing, documentation, and release management.
- Diagnose issues across the data, application, visualization, and automation layers.
- Design solutions with maintainability, scalability, security, and performance in mind.
- Collaboration & Ownership
- Work directly with business stakeholders, product owners, analysts, and engineering teams to understand problems and translate them into technical solutions.
- Participate in solution design, estimation, development, testing, deployment, and production support.
- Demonstrate ownership of assigned features and solutions from requirement through delivery.
- Clearly communicate technical concepts and analytical findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Create technical documentation and support knowledge sharing within the team.
- Support junior engineers through peer reviews and technical guidance when required.
This collaborative/engineering emphasis is consistent with the internal automation profiles, which call for working with functional SMEs, supporting enhancements, troubleshooting, documenting solutions, and sharing knowledge.
