Description Business Intelligence Engineers (BIEs) support data-driven decision-making across the business through analytics, data engineering, and insight generation. The team is seeking a Senior BIE to lead the design of scalable BI systems that enable self-service analytics and high-impact insights. This role owns the architecture and long-term strategy for the BI ecosystem. The focus is on building platforms - not just reports - that make data accessible, reliable, and easy to use. Responsibilities include developing automated data pipelines, advanced analytical models, and intuitive visualizations that influence how teams operate. A strong Senior BIE builds deep business and domain knowledge. Success in this role comes from understanding how the business works, diving into root causes, and using that context to deliver insights that matter. The role requires thinking like a product owner by anticipating needs, identifying gaps, and building solutions that scale beyond individual requests. The role operates at the intersection of data engineering, analytics, and emerging AI capabilities, eliminating manual processes, reducing bottlenecks, and unlocking new insights. Work includes writing high-quality, maintainable code using SQL (required), Python, R, or similar languages. Clear and influential communication is critical. Findings must be shared using the most effective format - dashboards, written narratives, or presentations so that insights are understood and acted on. This is a high-visibility role due to the critical tools maintained and the broad network impact of the analysis. The ideal candidate is self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and motivated by solving complex problems while continuously raising the bar.
