We are seeking a Senior SQL & Power BI Developer for our business partner, a global company in the middle of a major digital transformation. They are building a modern, cloud-based data platform to enable smarter decisions, operational efficiency, and scalable growth. This role is based in Bucharest, with a hybrid work model.

As a senior member of the Business Intelligence team, you will drive the design and delivery of high-quality, business-ready reporting solutions. You’ll combine advanced SQL engineering with ownership of Power BI reporting—both interactive dashboards and operational/paginated reports. Working closely with the Head of BI and cross-functional stakeholders, you will help define reporting standards, improve data consistency, and accelerate the shift from legacy reporting to a modern analytics ecosystem.

If you’re looking for a role where you can influence architecture, elevate reporting quality, and shape a company’s data culture during a pivotal transformation, this is the kind of opportunity that rarely appears on the market.
