Connect to and transform data from multiple sources (SQL databases, cloud data warehouses, APIs, Excel, SharePoint, etc.) using Power Query (M language).
Integrate Python scripts for advanced data transformation, statistical analysis, or custom processing within Power Query and Power BI workflows.
Enhance and support existing Power BI solutions — improve performance, fix issues, implement enhancements, and ensure data accuracy.
Implement best practices for row-level security (RLS), workspace governance, and report distribution (apps, subscriptions, embedding).
Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements, translate them into technical solutions, and iterate based on feedback.
Optimize report and dataset performance (query reduction, aggregation tables, incremental refresh, composite models where applicable).
Document data models, measures, Python scripts, and report logic for maintainability and knowledge sharing.
Stay updated with Power BI and related Python capabilities and recommend improvements to existing solutions and development standards.
Participate in peer reviews and contribute to team coding/modeling standards.

Hands-on experience integrating Python with Power BI (Python scripts in Power Query, Python visuals, or external Python-based data processing pipelines).
Solid understanding of data modeling concepts (star/snowflake schema, relationships, cardinality, normalization vs. denormalization).
Experience with Power BI Service (workspaces, apps, gateways, scheduled refresh, deployment pipelines).
Proven ability to design clean, user-friendly, and performance-optimized reports and dashboards.
Experience working with relational databases (SQL Server, Azure SQL, or similar) and writing efficient SQL.
Working knowledge of Python (pandas, data manipulation, basic scripting) for data processing and integration with Power BI.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot data, performance, and visualization issues independently.
Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in a remote, EST-aligned team.
