About The Position

Daisy Brand is modernizing its data platform and data visualization strategy, moving from a traditional solution (SQL Server, SSIS, and Tableau) to a modern cloud data platform built on Azure SQL Managed Instance and Microsoft Fabric. We are looking for a Senior BI Engineer to help lead that transformation. In this role, you will design and build the dimensional models — the fact and dimension tables, star schemas, and the T-SQL and ETL behind them — that the business runs on. You will translate business reporting needs into well-architected, efficient data models, working directly with business partners rather than receiving finished structures from a separate engineering team. You will also build the semantic models and the operational framework that make those models trustworthy in production. This role will drive innovation, enhance user experience, and enable data democratization across our organization. This is a hands-on engineering role. You will personally write the T-SQL, build the pipelines, and own the results.

Requirements

7+ years of hands-on data warehouse / BI engineering experience — you have personally built these solutions, not only directed or coordinated others who did.
5+ years designing and building dimensional models using Kimball methodology, including fact and dimension tables, star schemas, and source-to-target mapping. You can explain grain, surrogate keys, slowly changing dimension types, and conformed dimensions from your own work.
5+ years of advanced T-SQL: complex queries, stored procedures, views, functions, indexes, execution plan analysis, and query tuning against large tables.
4+ years building and deploying ETL/ELT pipelines end to end with SSIS, Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Fabric, or Synapse — including incremental loads, historical data handling, restart ability, error handling, and load-order dependencies.
3+ years supporting production data environments: monitoring job runs, investigating failures, documenting root cause, and implementing corrective action.
2+ years with semantic and analytical models — SSAS Tabular, Power BI semantic models, DAX measures, refresh orchestration, and row-level security.
Thorough understanding of data warehouse architecture, data modeling, security, and usability principles.
Experience with source control and release management (Azure DevOps or Git), code review, and working within Scrum sprints.
Business-facing communication — demonstrated ability to gather requirements directly from business SMEs in ambiguous situations and translate them into a modeled, documented reporting solution, communicating clearly with both business and technical partners.
Comfort with ambiguity and competing objectives in a fast-paced, collaborative, team-oriented environment.

Nice To Haves

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Data Engineering, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field; equivalent professional experience will be considered in place of a degree.
Microsoft certification such as Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate, Azure Data Engineer Associate, or Azure Database Administrator Associate.
Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse, Azure Data Factory, Databricks, and/or SSIS. Strength in the modern stack can offset lighter experience in the legacy stack, and vice versa.
Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, on-premises SQL Server, and Azure DevOps.
Azure services including Azure Data Lake; CI/CD build and release pipelines; implementing API-based data integrations.
Experience migrating a legacy warehouse (SQL Server, SSIS, Tableau) to a modern cloud platform.
Working with varied sources: SQL Server, Dataverse, Excel, Azure SQL, SharePoint Lists/Libraries, API-based data, and unstructured data.
Manufacturing data; knowledge of D365 Finance and Operations data structures.

Responsibilities

Define, design, develop, document, and maintain dimensional data models and data warehouse architecture, personally building the fact and dimension tables, star schemas, and source-to-target mappings.
Oversee and perform analysis, design, implementation, and support of the company data warehouse, including developing ETL/ELT routines with appropriate tools — handling incremental loads, historical data, restartability, error handling, and load-order dependencies.
Build and maintain semantic and analytical models (SSAS Tabular and Power BI semantic models), including measures, hierarchies, refresh orchestration, and row-level security.
Own production reliability for the data warehouse: monitor pipeline and cube processing runs, build audit, logging, and alerting frameworks, investigate failures, document root cause, and implement corrective action.
Work across data sources such as SQL Server, Dataverse, Excel, Azure SQL, SharePoint, API-based data, and unstructured data.
Migrate legacy warehouse logic (SQL Server, SSIS, SSRS, Tableau) onto the modern Azure SQL Managed Instance and Microsoft Fabric platform.
Maintain data integrity, ongoing solution quality, and adherence to security, architectural, and usability standards; perform data profiling, validation, and reconciliation, and resolve data quality issues with the relevant teams.
Collaborate with subject-matter experts, often in ambiguous situations, to determine business information and reporting requirements.
Maintain technical documentation — source-to-target mappings, ETL specifications, job dependencies, and deployment notes — and participate in code review, source control, and release management within a Scrum process.
Build and maintain relationships with technology teams and business partners to align technology initiatives with business strategy.
Provide technical and architectural guidance to ensure effective reporting and analysis.
Stay current on new technologies through continuous learning, industry publications, vendor contacts, and training.
Other duties as assigned.
