Senior Business Intelligence (BI) Developer-Knoxville Office

General Purpose of Job

As a Senior BI Developer, you’ll build and manage data pipelines, architect data stores, and deliver reports and dashboards for internal and external clients. As a Data & Analytics technologist, you’ll also mentor the Data Services team and champion modern data warehousing, durable systems, and industry best practices.

Duties And Responsibilities (Daily And Monthly)

Pipelines & Integration

• Design, build, and maintain robust ELT/ETL pipelines (SSIS, SQL Agent) that ingest from Hadoop, flat files, Excel, and APIs — engineered for reliability, auto-recovery, and observability.
• Implement layered data flow (staging ? integration ? presentation) with automated data-quality checks and clear documentation of sources, transformations, and lineage.

• Design and build data warehouses and subject-area marts using dimensional modeling and star schemas — well-formed facts and dimensions, conformed dimensions, and deliberate slowly changing dimension strategies.
• Establish a single source of truth with shared definitions, modeling standards, and warehouse-level data quality, so metrics stay consistent as the platform grows.

• Build and maintain reports and dashboards in SSRS and Power BI (semantic models, DAX, row-level security, gateways), feeding Azure/SharePoint Lists and Dynamics CRM.
• Source reporting from the warehouse, define each metric once, and curate a maintainable, certified reporting catalog.

• Translate business requirements into scoped, estimated work; manage dependencies and delivery risk; and report progress in sprint ceremonies.
• Mentor the Data Services team and lead adoption of best practices across pipelines, modeling, and reporting.
