Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'Business Intelligence Developer' with no seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is Unspecified. The scope (owning the BI function solo, building pipelines end-to-end, partnering with IT and business stakeholders) supports a Mid-level band — the JD explicitly encourages applicants who don't check every box and states no minimum years of experience.
SOC classification is a close call: the role blends BI/reporting analysis (15-2031) with data pipeline and warehousing engineering (15-1243). The primary day-to-day output is interactive dashboards and reports for business consumers, which tips toward 15-2031, but the pipeline-building and Microsoft Fabric/Lakehouse work is a meaningful secondary component.
Power BI is listed in Basic Qualifications with the qualifier 'or a similar BI tool' — it is a hard gate on BI dashboard capability; alternatives reflect common substitutes a hiring manager would accept.
Cloud data warehousing is listed in Basic Qualifications as 'Experience warehousing data in a cloud platform' with no specific platform named; captured as a required skill without a specific tool name since no platform is specified.
MySQL and SQL Server appear in the role narrative (not the qualifications sections) as the specific source systems the candidate will query; they are treated as required context given the role's explicit focus on those systems from day one.
Microsoft Fabric, Active Directory, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript all appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
No compensation range is disclosed; the posting notes full details are shared only with qualified candidates.
