Data & Power BI Engineer

Data & Power BI Engineer (Contract)

📅 12-month contract

📍 Netherlands preferred, or anywhere in the EU with occasional travel for key milestones

🇪🇺 EU right to work required

We are working with a financial services client who needs someone that can take messy source data and turn it into reporting people trust without question. Some of it ends up in front of regulators, so accuracy isn't optional. You'll own the whole chain, from the first pipeline to the final visual.

What a typical month might involve

• Building a new ingestion flow in Synapse or Databricks and writing the T-SQL that shapes it into something usable
• Sketching out a star schema for a reporting area nobody has modelled properly yet
• Turning that model into a Power BI dashboard, complete with the DAX logic behind it
• Sitting down with Product Owners and Business Analysts to work out what they actually need, not just what's on the ticket
• Tidying up older SSRS and Tableau reports so every tool tells the same story

You'll be a strong fit if you can...

• Talk through a pipeline you designed and built with your own hands in ADF, Synapse or Databricks, including what you'd do differently now
• Point to a live project where you worked in Databricks (PySpark, Delta Lake) or Synapse (SQL pools, pipelines), not one you read about
• Write T-SQL that others end up borrowing
• Explain why you'd pick a star schema over a snowflake, and when you wouldn't
• Show Power BI work covering complex DAX and tabular models that real business users depend on
• Back it up with a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems or similar

Bonus points for

A financial services or regulatory reporting background, hands-on SSRS or Tableau, CI/CD for BI releases, or Microsoft certifications such as PL-300 or DP-203.

If this sounds like your kind of work, drop me your CV or a message and I'll share the full details in confidence.
