Responsibilities
As the BI / Reporting Engineer, you will be responsible for hands-on reporting execution, semantic layer builds, and data validation. Your primary duties include:

• Data Validation & Quality Assurance: Validate report outputs against ERP source data, reconciling figures line-by-line to confirm accuracy before stakeholder review.
• Offshore Coordination: Coordinate with and review work from offshore BI Engineers by providing guidance, feedback, and ensuring consistent implementation quality across deliverables.
• Stakeholder Support & UAT: Support report UAT sessions by working directly with business users to validate outputs, capture feedback, and resolve discrepancies. Support post-launch dashboard enhancements during hypercare.
• CI/CD & Pipeline Standards: Work within Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, ensuring all reporting code and schema changes pass review before deployment.

Required Skills & Experience

• Experience preparing reporting datasets from operational systems using SQL-based transformation techniques.
• Experience working with data visualization and BI tools (e.g., Apache ECharts, Tableau, Power BI, Sigma, or similar Azure-native/compatible tools).
• Proven experience validating report outputs against source system data for detailed reconciliation.
• Comfortable working within CI/CD pipelines and version-controlled SQL schema management (Azure DevOps preferred).
• Experience using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to assist with query generation, data modeling, and report specification implementation.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to participate in UAT sessions with business stakeholders and collaborate effectively with offshore teams.
