BI Developer

Summary: 

The BI Developer role goes beyond building dashboards.  It is responsible for transforming how Vertical Bridge consumes, understands, and acts on data.

These solutions will drive strategic decisions, enable self-service intelligence, and shift the organization from reactive reporting to proactive insight.

This role requires strong foundations in data modeling, DAX, M Query, and semantic layer design, as well as hands-on experience with Databricks AI/BI Dashboards, Genie-powered conversational analytics, and self-service enablement. You will partner closely with data engineers to build a governed, enterprise-wide data model (one version of truth) that allows all users to read from the same data playbook.

• Provide technical guidance and support to the data teams, making architectural decisions, resolving technical challenges, and ensuring adherence to best practices and standards across both Power BI and Databricks AI/BI

• Apply statistical thinking and exploratory analysis techniques using Python, and SQL in Databricks notebooks. Identifies trends, anomalies, and correlations that traditional dashboards would not surface
