Business Intelligence Developer

Chicago, IL Hybrid Full-time

About the role

The Business Intelligence Developer owns our data platform end to end, from POS source system ingestion through Microsoft Fabric to the Power BI dashboards our teams use every day. This role is the data and analytics subject matter expert on the IT team and works closely with the Revenue Manager and Finance to turn raw ticketing and point-of-sale data from multiple POS systems into reporting the business can rely on. As the only IT team member based at this location, the role also handles occasional Level 1 IT tasks that need to be done in person (no more than about four hours per week) and works a hybrid schedule, with on-site attendance expected when required.

Early priorities include stabilizing core pipelines, closing data quality gaps, and building a clean, well-documented gold layer that business teams can build their reporting on.

Compensation

$80,000-90,000USD/annually

Extended Benefits

What you'll do

Design, build, and maintain Azure Data Factory pipelines that ingest data from multiple POS systems into Microsoft Fabric, including incremental loads, error handling, and data quality checks

Partner with the Revenue Manager, Finance, and other stakeholders to translate reporting needs into well-structured, reusable data solutions, and support self-service BI and end-user enablement

Serve as the data and analytics SME within the IT team: define data standards and documentation, share knowledge with peers, and evaluate new Fabric capabilities as the platform evolves

As the only IT team member on site at this location, handle Level 1 tasks that need to be done in person (hardware setup and swaps, printer and peripheral issues, hands-on troubleshooting), up to about 4 hours per week; remote support is handled by the team in Vancouver

Other duties as assigned

Strong SQL skills: complex joins, window functions, CTEs, performance tuning
