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. While focused on front-end architecture, you'll apply deep data acquisition knowledge to ensure semantic models accurately reflect business data from source systems. This individual contributor role actively coaches BI developers to uplift team capabilities.

Primary Responsibilities

Integration & Optimization

  • Consolidate existing reporting environments into a cohesive  Power BI + Fabric  platform (workspaces, semantic models, and apps).
  • Establish front‑end governance : workspace taxonomy, naming standards, deployment pipelines, and versioning.
  • Define and enforce the  thin report over certified semantic models  pattern.
  • Act as the primary liaison between the BI team and Data Engineering, providing requirements for data models and pipelines based on business reporting needs.
  • Partner with business stakeholders and analytics teams to identify, prototype, and integrate AI / ML insights into reporting solutions.

  • Standardize navigation (app structure, report landing pages, bookmarks) and  mobile‑first layouts .
  • Build reusable visual templates and measure libraries to accelerate consistent delivery.

    • Performance Optimization

  • Own report performance :   DAX optimization, model sizing, aggregation / Hybrid tables, Incremental Refresh , and Visual / Query reduction.
  • 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.
  • Data / Integration :  Fabric Pipelines & Dataflows Gen2, Azure SQL / Synapse, OneLake, Power BI Deployment Pipelines, Azure DevOps.
  • Monitoring & Ops :  Power BI / Fabric  Capacity Metrics , Usage Metrics, Purview (lineage), Azure Monitor / Log Analytics.
  • 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.

    • Preferred Certifications or Equivalent Demonstrated Expertise
