Fabric experience is rare and learnable on the job by a strong candidate, so this is preferred rather than required. * Tabular Editor. * Marketing measurement or attribution background: how spend connects to quotes, binds, policies, and lifetime value. * Insurance industry experience. * Experience building or operating data quality frameworks. Skills DAX, Data Analytics, Data Modeling, Data Pipelines, Data Quality, Large Semantic Models, Microsoft Fabric, Microsoft Power BI, Python, Semantic Data Modeling, Semantic Layer, SQL, Technical Documentation, Tabular Editor Experience * 3 or more years of experience (Preferred), Big Data Analytics, Business Intelligence (BI), Data Analytics, Data Engineering, Data Modeling, Data Pipelines, Data Quality, Data Transformation, Python (Programming Language), Semantic Modeling, Structured Query Language (SQL) ## Description Responsible for the design, development, and maintenance of the data pipelines, models, and architecture that move data from its source through to a marketing semantic layer, and for ensuring that data is structured, reliable, and ready for use. This role is the accountable technical owner of that semantic layer, built on large centralized semantic models that sit on top of the raw data tables and turn them into a single, trusted source of truth, with every metric defined once and defined consistently. In practical terms, it connects marketing spend to quotes, to policies, and to customer lifetime value, and it is what marketing leadership reads when deciding where campaign dollars go. Built entirely on Microsoft Fabric, this is a hands-on build-and-own role: the person in this seat decides how the semantic layer is structured, defends those decisions to the teams that depend on them, and is the escalation point when the model and the business disagree about what a number means. This is not a report building role and it is not a request queue., * Design, develop, and maintain the data pipelines and backend queries that populate the semantic layer, maintaining separation between raw, clean, and reporting layers so business logic lives where it belongs and not in the reporting layer. * Own the data modeling and architecture of the semantic layer end to end: structure, relationships, storage mode, and refresh behavior, including the architectural decisions behind each. * Author, maintain, and performance-tune the DAX measure layer, including the measure patterns downstream report builders depend on. * Implement and maintain data frameworks and architectures that keep the platform's data consistent, accurate, and ready for use. * Produce and maintain model documentation as a first-class deliverable, since the semantic layer serves report builders, analysts, and stakeholders who did not build it. * Combine, optimize, and manage multiple upstream data sources, partnering with the business intelligence and data engineering teams on source changes, deployment practices, and promotion of work from development into production. * Serve as the technical point of contact when downstream consumers report the model is wrong, and own the investigation through to root cause and fix. * Perform on-demand analysis of complex data to identify strategic opportunities and efficiencies and to keep key business metrics accurate and trustworthy. * Mentor apprentice team members working on model quality assurance and report migration, and review their work. * Contribute to the department's applied AI efforts, including agent-based access to model documentation and semantic models. ## Related Videos - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [Beyond Dashboards: Fixing Text-to-SQL with Semantic RAG](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2036-beyond-dashboards-fixing-text-to-sql-with-semantic-rag) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Data Analytics with Microsoft Fabric: End-to-End Use Case with Data Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1547-data-analytics-with-microsoft-fabric-end-to-end-use-case-with-data-agents) - [REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and more: A comparison of modern API styles](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100247-rest-graphql-grpc-and-more-a-comparison-of-modern-api-styles) ## Related Articles - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Data Analyst Salary Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/277-data-analyst-salary-germany) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Data Analyst Salary in Switzerland](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/276-data-analyst-salary-in-switzerland)
