Business Intelligence Developer

The Business Intelligence Developer designs, develops, and maintains enterprise business intelligence data solutions and semantic models that enable trusted reporting, analytics, self-service, and artificial intelligence capabilities across the organization. This position serves as a technical bridge between business requirements, Data Engineering, and Business Intelligence.The Business Intelligence Developer partners with Business Intelligence Analysts to understand business processes, reporting requirements, key performance indicators, and analytical needs. The role works closely with Data Engineering teams to map source data and define requirements necessary to transform enterprise data from Bronze through Gold medallion architecture within Microsoft Fabric. Using governed Gold data, the Business Intelligence Developer designs and develops reusable enterprise semantic models that translate technical data structures into business-ready analytical data products with standardized relationships, measures, calculations, definitions, metadata, and business context.The incumbent in this position is expected to model the following practices daily: Demonstrate alignment with the company's mission and core business values; Collaborate with key internal/external resources; Participate in ongoing self-development.Essential FunctionsModel, promote, reinforce, and recognize the consistent use of HOLT's Values Based Leadership (VBL) tools, models, and processes to ensure alignment with our Vision, Values, and MissionPartners with Business Intelligence Analysts and business stakeholders to understand business processes, reporting requirements, analytical needs, key performance indicators, calculations, and business definitionsTranslates business and analytical requirements into technical data and semantic modeling requirementsCollaborates with Data Engineering teams during data mapping and modeling activities to identify required source data, transformation logic, business rules, relationships, and data quality requirementsDefines Gold data requirements with Data Engineering to ensure data products are structured appropriately for downstream semantic modeling, reporting, analytics, and AI consumptionValidates Gold data against documented business requirements and source-system logic before incorporating data into governed semantic modelsDesigns, develops, deploys, and maintains enterprise semantic models within Microsoft FabricDevelops and maintains DAX measures and standardized business calculations to ensure consistent calculation of enterprise metrics and key performance indicatorsAdds business context to semantic models through clear naming conventions, descriptions, metadata, relationships, hierarchies, formatting, and documented business definitionsDevelops reusable enterprise semantic models that can support multiple downstream reports, dashboards, applications, and analytical use cases rather than creating report-specific data solutions when enterprise reuse is appropriateDesigns semantic model architecture that allows specialized downstream semantic models to extend governed enterprise models for specific business or operational use casesOptimizes semantic models for performance, scalability, usability, security, and maintainabilityImplements appropriate data and semantic model security, including row-level security, object-level security, and other access-control requirementsIdentifies data quality issues and works with Business Intelligence Analysts, Data Engineering, Data Stewards, and business stakeholders to determine appropriate resolutionEstablishes and follows enterprise semantic modeling standards, naming conventions, documentation practices, reusable development patterns, and governance requirementsDocuments data lineage, business definitions, transformation logic, model relationships, calculations, measures, and dependencies to improve transparency and maintainabilityUses Git-based source control and Azure DevOps to manage development work, version control, code reviews, pull requests, and solution deploymentImplements and follows CI/CD practices for semantic models and related Business Intelligence solutions across development, test, and production environmentsPartners with Business Intelligence Analysts who use governed semantic models to develop Power BI dashboards, reports, and other business-facing analytical solutionsPartners with Data Scientists to ensure enterprise semantic models can appropriately support advanced analytics, machine learning, generative AI, and other AI-driven solutionsEvaluates emerging Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, semantic modeling, and analytics capabilities and recommends opportunities to improve the organization's Business Intelligence architectureProvides training and technical support and serves as a subject matter expert for semantic modeling and Business Intelligence developmentMaintains professional and technical knowledge through ongoing training, conferences, webinars, certifications, and other educational opportunitiesWorks safely at all times and adheres to all applicable safety policies;
