PowerBI Engineer

Job Title : Power BI Developer (Contract / Freelance)

Experience : Minimum 2 years

Engagement : Contract / Freelance

Duration : Project-based (with possible extension based on performance)

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Power BI Developer with strong hands-on experience in data modeling, DAX, Power Query (M language), and custom coding within Power BI. The ideal candidate should have a deep understanding of transforming raw business data into visually compelling, interactive dashboards and reports that deliver actionable insights.

This is a technical, hands-on development role — suitable for someone who can code and optimize inside Power BI, not just build reports using the UI.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy Power BI reports, dashboards, and data models using Power BI Desktop, Power BI Service, and Power BI Embedded.
• Write advanced DAX queries and measures to perform complex calculations and data aggregations.
• Develop custom M scripts (Power Query) for data transformation, cleansing, and shaping within Power BI.
• Build optimized data models (star / snowflake schema) to ensure high performance in large and complex datasets.
• Integrate multiple data sources, including SQL Server, APIs, Excel, SharePoint, Azure Data Lake, and third-party applications.
• Implement row-level security (RLS) and manage permissions within Power BI Service.
• Work closely with backend developers or data engineers to optimize database queries and APIs for Power BI consumption.
• Automate dataset refreshes, schedule jobs, and configure gateways for hybrid (on-prem + cloud) data setups.
• Debug and optimize slow-performing reports and dashboards using query diagnostics and performance tuning.
• Use Power BI REST API and PowerShell scripts for administrative and automation tasks (e.g., deployments, report management, embedding).
• Collaborate with business analysts and stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical specifications and scalable Power BI solutions.
• Maintain best practices in data governance, report version control, and documentation.
