Role Summary

The Senior BI Front End Architect designs and implements our enterprise Power BI and Microsoft Fabric platform. You will consolidate multiple reporting environments into a single governed ecosystem, elevate UX / UI through standardized design, and optimize performance across all devices.

  • Monitor and tune  Fabric / Power BI capacity  using Capacity Metrics; set SLIs / SLOs for open time and interaction latency.
  • Establish performance test gates in CI / CD (Performance Analyzer baselines, dataset refresh thresholds).

    • Mentorship & Enablement

  • Coach BI teams on DAX patterns, modeling, and UX standards; run design and code reviews to ensure consistency across the organization.
  • Document standards, anti‑patterns, and “cookbook” guidance for repeatable delivery.

    • Quality & Governance

  • Partner with data engineering to align  security (RLS / OLS), lineage, and metadata .
  • Implement BI deployment processes including ALM Toolkit, Git, and change management.

    • Technical Stack & Tools

  • Core :  Microsoft Fabric, Power BI Desktop / Service, DAX, Power Query (M),  Tabular Editor,   ALM Toolkit , DAX Studio.

  • UX / Visualization :  Power BI themes (JSON), custom visuals governance, accessibility guidelines (WCAG), mobile layout optimizer.

    • Experience Required

  • 8+ years  in BI / analytics with  4+ years  leading Power BI front‑end architecture at enterprise scale.
  • Proven ability to collaborate with data engineering teams and a strong understanding of end-to-end data acquisition flows from source systems (e.g., ERP, CRM)
  • Demonstrated success consolidating disparate BI estates into a  unified Fabric / Power BI  platform.
  • Deep expertise in  DAX performance tuning, model design, UX patterns, and capacity optimization .
  • Hands‑on CI / CD for BI (Git, Deployment Pipelines, ALM Toolkit) and production operations (refresh SLAs, incident handling).

    • Stakeholder Interaction

  • Translate executive and functional requirements into  task‑focused, decision‑ready  reporting.
  • Collaborate with data engineering, security, and governance to align modeling, lineage, and access.
  • Conduct design reviews, office hours, and enablement sessions; serve as a trusted advisor to business leaders.

    • Key Differentiators

  • Blends  design thinking  with technical depth—delivers delightful, consistent experiences without sacrificing performance.
  • Translates complex data from source systems into simple, trusted, and decision-ready insights.
  • Proven  mentor / coach , raising the bar for front‑end standards and code quality.
  • Mastery of  capacity + cost / perf trade‑offs  in Fabric / Power BI at scale.
