[Hiring] Data / BI Engineer IV @LMI

Role Description

LMI is seeking a Data / BI Engineer at the Level IV level to deliver trustworthy reporting and analytical infrastructure for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Agile and Atlassian modernization initiatives. This role combines data engineering, SQL and Python development, Power BI semantic modeling, and stakeholder collaboration to turn disconnected operational sources into decision-ready performance information.

The Data / BI Engineer will:

• Build and sustain pipelines that combine approved Jira, portfolio, training, survey, and related data.
• Define and validate metric calculations.
• Develop Power BI models and dashboards for operational and executive audiences.
• Work with analysts and platform administrators to ensure consistent measures as teams and configurations change.

This is not a dashboard-only role. The engineer must:

• Design for data lineage, refresh reliability, security, performance, and explainable calculations.
• Ensure that reports answer meaningful business questions.

The ideal candidate blends strong technical execution with careful quality assurance and the ability to translate ambiguous metrics requests into durable data products.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, data engineering, data science, information systems, or a related technical field. Four additional years of relevant experience may substitute for a Bachelor's.
• 5+ years of data engineering, BI engineering, analytics engineering, or comparable experience.
• Strong SQL and Python proficiency and experience building production data pipelines.
• Advanced Power BI skills including DAX, modeling, transformation, and dashboard publication.
• Experience with data validation, privacy-aware access controls, and stakeholder KPI requirements.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a favorable Public Trust determination and satisfy applicable federal personnel vetting, security, privacy, accessibility, and data-handling requirements.
• Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst (PL-300) or Fabric Data Engineer (DP-700) certification; previously issued Azure Data Engineer (DP-203) credentials are also accepted.
• Experience implementing governed Power BI datasets or semantic models, with well-documented calculations and controlled refresh or publication processes.
• Ability to validate data with business owners, explain uncertainty and gaps, and troubleshoot source-to-report differences.

Requirements

• Prior experience supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration (VHA), or federal health programs is highly desirable.
• Jira and Atlassian APIs, Azure data services, and enterprise portfolio reporting.
• Experience joining survey, LMS, HR, and software delivery data.
• Experience with Azure data services, cloud API pagination, monitoring, and reusable enterprise dashboard design patterns.
• A master's degree in data engineering, computer science, applied statistics, data science, or analytics is highly desirable.
• Additional certifications such as Microsoft Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate (DP-600) or Azure Database Administrator Associate (DP-300) are desirable.

Benefits

• Target salary range: $110,000 - $165,000.
• The salary range displayed represents the typical salary range for this position and is not a guarantee of compensation.
• Individual salaries are determined by various factors including, but not limited to location, internal equity, business considerations, client contract requirements, and candidate qualifications, such as education, experience, skills, and security clearances.
