- Collaborate closely with stakeholders to define key performance indicators and create dashboards that facilitate informed decision-making.
- Continually refine data models to guarantee accurate reporting.
- Identify automation opportunities within business processes and craft solutions with Power Automate to boost efficiency.
- Ensure seamless integration by connecting Power BI to various data sources.
- Enhance Power BI performance through techniques like DAX and Power Query, while following best practices for data visualization.
- Design and implement Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes to manage data efficiently.
- Optimize SQL queries and improve performance of reports via T-SQL and SSRS.

- Monitor performance and compliance to ensure solutions align with organizational policies.
- Stay in the know about updates to Power Platform, leveraging new features to enhance our solutions continuously.
- Work alongside UI/UX designers, business analysts, and project managers for coordinated project planning and execution.

To join us as a Computer Specialist (Software) – 13632, you’ll need:
-
A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college, including 24 semester credits in computer science or a related field, plus two years of solid software experience in designing, programming, and enhancing applications — ideally, some of that time should be spent in a project leader role or as a key contributor to a complex project; or
-
A high school diploma (or equivalent) combined with six years of experience as described above, including at least one year in a project leader capacity; or
- A mix of relevant education and experience that equates to the above qualifications.
