Senior Power BI Developer

Qualifications About us We are fast-paced and our goal is to help individuals obtain meaningful work, be paid fairly, and have fun in the process!. We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Power BI Developer for a project engagement. This role is not just about building new reports; it is about auditing, correcting, and optimizing our existing data environment. The ideal candidate thrives on solving complex data discrepancies, simplifying bloated data models, and—most importantly—rebuilding the "bridge of trust" between our data outputs and our business users. Primary Responsibilities Data Audit & Remediation: Conduct deep-dive audits of existing Power BI reports to identify logic errors, broken relationships, and incorrect DAX calculations. Restoring Data Trust: Work directly with business stakeholders to understand "perceived" vs. "actual" data issues, providing transparent documentation and validation to prove data accuracy. Performance Tuning: Optimize slow-loading reports by refining Power Query (M) transformations and streamlining complex DAX measures. Data Modeling Excellence: Transition "flat-file" or messy schemas into high-performance Star Schemas to ensure scalability and accuracy. Governance & Standardization: Establish and enforce row-level security (RLS), workspace management, and version control to prevent future data drift. UAT Leadership: Lead rigorous User Acceptance Testing (UAT) sessions to ensure that the final output aligns perfectly with the users’ source systems (e.g., ERP, CRM). Getty Images Required Technical Skills Expert DAX & Power Query: Advanced proficiency in writing, troubleshooting, and optimizing DAX and M code. SQL Mastery: Strong ability to write complex SQL queries to validate Power BI outputs against the underlying data warehouse. Data Architecture: Deep understanding of dimensional modeling (Fact and Dimension tables) and data warehousing concepts. End-to-End Power BI Service: Experience with Gateways, Scheduled Refreshes, Dataflows, and ALM Toolkit. Core Competencies (The "Trust" Factor) Analytical Skepticism: You don’t take data at face value; you verify against the source. Empathetic Communication: The ability to listen to frustrated users, validate their concerns, and explain technical fixes in plain English. Documentation Rigor: A commitment to documenting data lineage and logic so that the "black box" of reporting is eliminated. Education & Experience 4+ years of dedicated Power BI development experience. Proven track record of migrating or "fixing" legacy reporting systems. PL-300 (Microsoft Data Analyst Associate) certification is highly preferred. Must be able to pass a criminal background check as well as a drug test. Job Types: Full-time, Contract Pay: $45.00 - $55.00 per hour Benefits: 401(k) Application Question(s): I confirm that I don't require sponsorship now, or will EVER require sponsorship, to work in the US. Please answer Yes, if that is true. Location: Florida (Required) Work Location: Remote
