About this opportunity
Join our Analytics & AI Platform, the hub for enabling Analytics & AI within the organisation. This role sits within the Business Intelligence as a Service (BIaaS) lab, an enablement function focused on delivering our vision for the future of BI.
The keyword being "Enablement", therefore this role is NOT about developing BI Dashboards, Visualisations / Reports / Analytics, but about BI Platform Engineering which includes the Design, Build, Implementation, Scale-Out and Support of our strategic BI Applications and their related Products, Features, End-to-End Patterns/Blueprints, Best Practices, Ways of Working and Operating Models for success.
You must therefore be able to demonstrate experience of working with teams like Networking, Security, Architecture, Cloud Services and more; including a know-how of Software Engineering Principles and related common challenges, in order to deliver on our vision for the future of our BI Products and Services.
You'll work in a Feature Team within the BIaaS lab, together with a Product Owner and other multi-skilled Engineers, with a clear Vision, Key Results and Objectives ranging across the Build, Maturity and Support of:
* Connectivity between our BI Applications and various on-premise and cloud data sources.
* Self-Service capabilities to all BI personas.
* Conversational Analytics through Natural Language Query interfaces.
* Data Agents for BI.
* BI Marketplace.
* BI Semantic / Knowledge Layer.
About the Team
We're a dynamic and diverse lab, with a reputation of delivery at pace, innovating and challenging the status quo. The lab consists of multiple Feature Teams spread across three locations, committed to fostering Collaboration, Psychological Safety, Accountability, Healthy Conflict, Commitment, and a deep attention to our Vision and Objectives. Our BI Products aim to unlock the potential of our rich data through innovative Self-Serve solutions - a "BI Marketplace" (think Amazon for BI). We build, scale, maintain, and monitor capabilities within our strategic BI Platforms while evaluating and developing innovative future offerings (think ChatGPT for BI). We're embarking on building a Semantic / Knowledge Layer to enable a single source of truth and to power Conversational BI. We'll also be building BI Simplification capabilities (think BI Model/Metadata Accelerators).
What you'll need
* Hands-on experience of Cloud BI Platforms like PowerBI and Looker.
* Preferably, you have hands-on experience with Cloud Curation components for PowerBI and/or Looker (e.g. Terraform, IAM, Harness, K8S, DNS Configuration, TLS certificates, Load balancers, etc.).
* Good communicator comfortable engaging with other relevant enablement functions like Architecture, Networking, Security, etc.
* Passion for the BI domain with an eye for innovation.
* Grasp of Software Development Principles, Route-to-Live for BI Content and BI Platform development.
* Knowledge of golden paths for end-to-end BI Data Patterns.
* Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences and demonstrate a restless curiosity while actively investigating new approaches.
