About The Position

This role is responsible for designing, delivering, and operating secure, compliant, and high-performing healthcare reporting solutions at enterprise scale. The Reporting Engineer develops and optimizes Power BI semantic models, authors production-quality DAX, enforces robust security controls, and implements disciplined CI/CD practices for analytics delivery. The role partners closely with data engineering to integrate curated datasets (claims, EHR, FHIR) into a governed semantic layer that supports clinical, operational, and financial decision-making.

Requirements

3–6 years of experience in BI or reporting engineering, with at least 3 years focused on Power BI at scale
Advanced proficiency in: DAX, Power Query (M), Power BI Desktop and Service
Advanced proficiency in: Tabular Editor and DAX Studio
Advanced proficiency in: Dimensional modeling patterns, including star schema, role-playing dimensions, calculation groups, and aggregations
Advanced proficiency in: Power BI security, including RLS/OLS, workspace and app permissions, tenant settings, and data classification
Demonstrated experience delivering reporting solutions on healthcare data such as EHR encounters, claims, authorizations, registries, and quality measures
Strong SQL skills and experience with one or more data platforms: Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse, Azure SQL, Databricks/Delta Lake, or Snowflake
Solid understanding of BI DevOps practices, including Git, deployment pipelines, code review, artifact promotion, and testable analytics patterns

Nice To Haves

Experience with Microsoft Fabric, including Direct Lake, OneLake shortcuts, and semantic model governance
Power BI tenant and capacity administration with an emphasis on performance and cost management at enterprise scale
Familiarity with Microsoft Purview lineage, glossary, and sensitivity labeling
Exposure to additional BI or semantic-layer tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Sigma, dbt metrics)
Relevant certifications, such as PL-300, DP-500, DP-203, or platform-specific certifications (Databricks, Snowflake)
Knowledge of healthcare data frameworks and programs, including FHIR R4, HL7 v2, X12, HEDIS, STARS, and HIPAA Security and Privacy Rule fundamentals

Responsibilities

Design and implement Power BI semantic models (Import, Direct Lake, DirectQuery, and Composite) aligned with star schema and dimensional modeling best practices
Author robust DAX, including calculated columns, measures, and calculation groups, with careful management of filter context, row context, and time intelligence (e.g., role-playing dates)
Build enterprise-grade dashboards and reports in Power BI Service with emphasis on usability, accessibility, and consistent KPI definitions
Implement incremental refresh, aggregations, and hybrid tables to support large-scale datasets
Optimize models through tuning of cardinality, relationships, encoding, partitioning, and aggregation strategies to meet report performance SLAs
Design solutions that scale across Power BI capacities (Fabric/F capacities, autoscale, and load management) using usage-driven optimization
Implement and manage Row-Level Security (RLS) and Object-Level Security (OLS) aligned with least-privilege access and separation of duties
Enforce HIPAA-compliant handling of PHI, including masking, minimization, and retention controls across development, test, and production environments
Integrate with Microsoft Purview for lineage, glossary, and classification; document and certify datasets and metrics
Define and operationalize KPIs and metric definitions within the semantic layer to ensure consistency across reporting products
Partner with data engineering to source data from Azure Fabric and Lakehouse platforms, Azure Synapse, Azure SQL, Databricks/Delta Lake, Snowflake, and on-premises SQL via On-Premises Data Gateway
Build parameterized Power BI Dataflows and Dataflows Gen2 (where applicable) to support reusable transformations aligned with medallion (bronze/silver/gold) datasets
Support integration of healthcare data standards including FHIR R4, HL7 v2, and X12 (837/835) into the semantic model for payer and provider analytics use cases (e.g., denials, length of stay, readmissions, quality measures)
Implement CI/CD practices for Power BI, including Git-enabled workspaces, deployment pipelines, pull request-based reviews, Tabular Editor scripting, and automated best practice analysis (BPA)
Monitor refresh SLAs, gateway health, query performance, capacity utilization, and usage analytics; drive proactive performance tuning and cost governance
Establish standards for versioning, certification, and deprecation of datasets and reports; maintain clear and durable documentation
Translate clinical, operational, and financial metrics into well-defined technical measures in collaboration with subject matter experts (Finance, Quality, Care Management, Revenue Cycle)
Develop reusable report templates, themes, and field parameter patterns to accelerate governed self-service analytics
Provide enablement and guidance to analysts on DAX patterns, semantic modeling techniques, and performance anti-patterns
