Crafting and building advanced Power BI dashboards that surface security metrics, targets, and trends for technical and executive partners alike. Maintaining a BI analytics layer that enables self-service reporting across the security organization with consistent governance, dataset certification, and report versioning. Transforming complex security data into clear visual stories, making insights around alert volumes, MTTD/MTTR, vulnerability posture, and compliance accessible to non-technical audiences.

Developing processes for analytics, data modeling, and data production, and evaluating new tooling and automation opportunities. What is needed to Succeed Deep experience in both data engineering and security, with a passion for BI that sets you apart. You likely have: 7–10 years in backend infrastructure or data systems, with 4+ years in Security Engineering or a related field.

AWS security services (IAM, GuardDuty, CloudTrail, CloudWatch) and can keep data secure across regions and data centers. Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Kinesis are familiar territory.

5+ years with enterprise BI platforms and advanced Power BI proficiency, including DAX, Power Query (M), star/snowflake data modeling, paginated reports, composite models, row-level security (RLS), and deployment pipelines. Connect Power BI to sources like Azure Synapse, Databricks, AWS Redshift, and REST APIs.
