Oversee integration with Power BI, supporting report delivery and cross-platform data flows.
Collaborate with Platform, Database engineers, and infrastructure teams to provision, secure, and optimize new database technologies.
Implement and manage robust security models, including LDAP/Active Directory integration, user role creation, and project-level access controls.
Ensure compliance with enterprise security guidelines and participate in audits as required.
Respond to high-priority production incidents, perform root cause analysis, and drive resolution across teams.
Provide deployment, upgrade, and troubleshooting support for multiple enterprise projects, maintaining required service levels.
Work effectively in fast-paced, multi-tasking enterprise and virtual environments.
Partner with business, analytics, and engineering teams to deliver secure, governed, and high-performing BI solutions.
Document system configurations, procedures, and operational guidelines.

Requirements

5+ years of experience with Power BI, including report setup and workspace management.
Strong experience with AWS cloud services (e.g., QuickSight, EKS, Redshift), and automation tools (Ansible, Terraform).
Proficiency in Linux/Unix environments, including shell scripting, SQL, and PL/SQL.
Deep understanding of MicroStrategy architecture, security, and administration tools (Developer, Object Manager, Command Manager, Workstation).
Excellent communication, debugging, monitoring, and troubleshooting skills.

Nice-to-haves

Experience with MicroStrategy Customer Managed Cloud and AWS QuickSight is highly desirable.
MicroStrategy and AWS certifications are a plus.
Python would be a big plus.
