• Design, develop, optimize, and support SQL-based data solutions, with a strong emphasis on T-SQL, stored procedures, views, functions, and performance-aware query design.
• Create and maintain relational and dimensional data models, including ERDs and well-structured operational models.
• Build and support data pipelines, integrations, and transformation processes across operational systems, reporting platforms, and cloud data environments.
• Partner with BI Developers, Data Analysts, Data Owners, Application Developers, and business stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver practical, high-value data solutions.
• Support Roehl's Microsoft Fabric strategy and develop data assets that power Power BI, enterprise reporting, advanced analytics, and future AI-driven use cases.
• Use Python and AI-enabled tools where appropriate to improve automation, integration, analysis, and engineering productivity.
• Apply secure data handling, governance, metadata, and development best practices.
• Provide senior-level technical leadership through design input, code quality, standards, mentoring, and collaboration.

• Strong understanding of relational modeling, ERDs, normalization principles, third normal form design, dimensional modeling, metadata practices, and data governance concepts.
• Multiple years of experience building and maintaining data warehousing, data integration, or analytical data solutions.
• Experience developing within a modern Microsoft-centric data stack, including SQL Server, Python, cloud technologies, and modern data platforms.
• Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory, Azure SQL, OneLake, Lakehouse concepts, or similar cloud data technologies.
• Experience supporting Power BI or other modern analytics and visualization platforms.
• Understanding of secure data handling, Agile development, source control, deployment practices, and tools such as Azure DevOps or GitHub.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to partner effectively with both technical and business teams.

Preferred and Plus Skills

The following experience is preferred or considered a plus:

• Microsoft Fabric experience or strong interest in developing Fabric expertise.
• Experience with Azure data pipelines, cloud data lake implementations, Lakehouse architecture, or modern ELT patterns.
• Experience using AI-assisted development, AI-enabled analytics, or practical AI tools to improve engineering productivity.
• Experience with C#, Power BI semantic models, dataflows, data quality, lineage, cataloging, governance, Visio, ERDs, and architecture diagrams.
• Experience in transportation, logistics, operations, or similarly data-rich environments.

The Fit

You may be a strong fit if you enjoy solving complex data problems, building reliable and maintainable solutions, collaborating across technical and business teams, and taking ownership from design through delivery.
