- Incorporate Real User Monitoring (RUM) and Application Performance Monitoring (APM) data into dashboards to surface trends related to performance, reliability, and user experience.
- Build and maintain advanced DAX measures and calculations following Power BI best practices.
- Ensure dashboards are performant, maintainable, and intuitive for self-service consumption.
- Validate data accuracy, perform root cause analysis, and partner with engineering teams to resolve inconsistencies.
- Establish best practices for dashboard design, metric definitions, and documentation.
- Provide mentorship and technical guidance to other analysts, raising the overall analytics maturity of the team.
Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in Analytics, Data Science, Business, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of experience in analytics, business intelligence, or data analysis roles.
- Advanced experience with Power BI, including data modeling, DAX, and Power BI Service.
- Strong SQL skills and experience querying Postgres or similar relational databases.
- Hands-on experience working with NoSQL data sources such as DynamoDB.
- Experience analyzing data in AWS-based environments.
- Ability to translate technical or behavioral data (e.g., RUM, APM) into business-relevant insights.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to present complex insights to non-technical audiences.
Preferred Qualifications: - Experience working with UDH or unified data hub-style architectures.
- Familiarity with RUM and APM tools (e.g., application monitoring, performance metrics, latency, errors).
- Experience building dashboards for product reliability or customer experience use cases.
- Understanding of data governance, KPI standardization, and self-service analytics.
- Prior experience serving as a domain owner or analytics lead.
What Success Looks Like: - Business and product leaders rely on your dashboards to guide decisions.
