THE ROLE:
You’ll build how the organization sees, trusts, and acts on data. As a Principal I, Power BI Architect, you’ll design and scale enterprise-grade Power BI solutions—from semantic models to embedded analytics—so leaders and teams can make faster, smarter decisions. You’ll set architecture and governance standards, drive performance and capacity optimization, and partner closely with data engineering and application teams to deliver reliable, secure, and easy-to-use analytics experiences. This role calls for deep expertise in Power BI architecture, DAX, SQL, and modern cloud data platforms (Azure and Snowflake). Experience with Power BI Embedded, CI/CD, Direct Lake, and Delta-based architectures is a strong plus, along with the ability to influence technical direction and mentor others.
HOW YOU WOULD CONTRIBUTE:
Power BI Architecture & Solution Design· Lead end-to-end Power BI delivery (semantic models, reports, dashboards) that scales across the enterprise.· Architect high-performing, reusable data models aligned to business definitions and governed metrics.· Establish and evolve standards for development, governance, and lifecycle management across the Power BI ecosystem.· Champion advanced capabilities (calculation groups, field parameters, deployment pipelines, bookmarks) to improve usability and consistency. Data Integration & Backend Connectivity· Connect Power BI to Snowflake, Azure SQL, and other cloud/on-prem sources with secure, reliable access patterns.· Use Direct Lake and Delta-based approaches to enable fast, near real-time analytics where appropriate.· Partner with data engineering to build efficient pipelines, refresh strategies, and dataset development. Embedded Analytics & Application Integration· Build and support Power BI Embedded experiences that bring analytics directly into web applications.· Ensure embedding is secure, scalable, and aligned with enterprise architecture and identity patterns. Performance Optimization & Advanced Analytics· Write, review, and optimize DAX for clarity, correctness, and performance at enterprise scale.· Develop and maintain Power Query (M) transformations with a focus on maintainability and refresh efficiency.· Diagnose and tune report performance, query plans, and refresh operations—then share guidance with teams. Deployment, Administration & Governance· Implement CI/CD using Git, TMDL, Tabular Editor, and automated validation to improve quality and speed.· Administer tenant/workspace settings, security, and access controls; define guardrails that enable self-service safely.· Monitor and optimize capacity unit (CU) utilization and operational health across environments. Leadership & Collaboration· Translate business needs into clear technical builds and delivery plans with collaborators and product teams. · Mentor developers and analysts through reviews, patterns, and mentoring to improve standards across the org. · Document architecture, models, and operational playbooks to support long-term maintainability.· Other duties as assigned.
You’ll join a team that treats analytics as a product—prioritizing trustworthy data, phenomenal user experiences, and measurable business impact. We partner closely with data engineering, product, and business teams to tackle meaningful problems, and we invest in modern practices like governance-by-design, automation/CI/CD, and performance engineering. If you enjoy setting technical direction, simplifying complexity, and enabling others to deliver their best work, you’ll thrive here.
