Develop and implement high-impact visual analytics and semantic models in Power BI. Apply advanced features such as DAX, Row-Level Security (RLS), and dashboard deployment pipelines. Proficiency in Python/R, familiarity with ML frameworks (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch), experience with MLOps concepts, and deploying models into a production environment on cloud platforms. Develop and deploy AI/ML solutions using Python, Snowpark, or cloud-native ML services (AWS Sagemaker, Azure ML). Exposure to LLM/GenAI projects (chatbot implementations, NLP, recommendation systems, anomaly detection) is highly desirable. Implement and manage data solutions utilizing core services on at least one major cloud platform (AWS or Azure). Demonstrate exceptional communication and articulation skills to engage with clients, gather requirements, and lead project delivery from ground up (inception to final deployment). Required Qualifications: Minimum of 4 years of professional experience in data engineering, consulting, and solution delivery. Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related technical field. A master’s degree in a relevant field is highly preferred. Strong, hands-on experience in end-to-end Snowflake project implementation. Any professional certifications in snowflake preferred. Expertise in designing, building, and maintaining ELT/ETL pipelines and data workflows, with a solid understanding of data warehousing best practices. Hands-on experience implementing dashboards in Power BI, including DAX and RLS. Professional certifications in Power BI are preferred. Proficiency in Python, with demonstrable experience deploying at least one AI/ML project (e.g., Snowpark, Databricks, SageMaker, Azure ML) including feature engineering, model deployment, and MLOps practices. Experience with machine learning frameworks such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch, and hands-on exposure to production deployments. Familiarity with projects involving LLM/Generative AI (e.g., chatbots, NLP, recommendation systems, and anomaly detection). Hands-on experience working with cloud platforms, specifically AWS or Azure. Excellent verbal and written communication, presentation, and client-facing consulting skills, with proven track record of successfully leading projects from inception. Preferred (Added Advantage) Qualifications: Experience with Tableau or other leading BI tools. Working knowledge of Databricks (e.g., Spark, Delta Lake). Experience or strong understanding of Data Science methodologies and statistical modeling. Relevant industry certifications, including Power BI, Snowflake, Databricks and AWS/Azure Data/AI credentials.
