About this role
This role is about industrialising business intelligence rather than building dashboards, and the distinction runs through the whole posting. Sigmoid works with large data rich organisations, and this seat leads migrations of dashboards from legacy platforms including Tableau, Qlik, Cognos, Business Objects, SSRS and MicroStrategy onto Power BI, at a scale the posting quantifies as thousands of dashboards within a few months. To make that possible you build reusable accelerators: Power Query transformation libraries, deployment automation scripts, report validation and testing frameworks, governance toolkits, metadata documentation generators and row level security templates. There is real engineering here, building utilities with PowerShell, Power Automate, REST APIs and Microsoft Fabric capabilities, and optimising DirectQuery, Import, Composite Models and Hybrid Tables. The posting publishes no years requirement anywhere.
Who this is for
No years figure is published
Sigmoid publishes no experience requirement in this posting, which is why it sits in the years not stated group. The only experience line is a reference to having built accelerators in the past. Architect in the title implies seniority, but the employer has not put a number on it.
What the posting asks for
- Experience building reusable accelerators.
- Deep Power BI capability, including Power BI Service and workspace optimisation rather than only dashboard building.
- Migration experience from legacy BI platforms: Tableau, Qlik, Cognos, Business Objects, SSRS, MicroStrategy and Excel.
- Ability to build utilities using PowerShell, Power Automate, REST APIs and Microsoft Fabric.
- Solution architecture for enterprise scale Power BI, optimising DirectQuery, Import, Composite Models and Hybrid Tables.
- Governance frameworks and best practice, including row level security.
The day to day
- BI practice innovation: developing reusable accelerators, optimising Power BI Service and workspaces, and speeding up end to end development.
- Leading programmes that migrate thousands of dashboards within a few months, assessing existing reporting environments and defining migration strategy.
- Developing migration frameworks, templates and automation utilities, and optimising migrated reports for performance, usability and maintainability while minimising business disruption.
- Building and maintaining accelerators: Power Query transformation libraries, deployment automation scripts, report validation and testing frameworks, governance toolkits, metadata documentation generators, performance optimisation checklists, migration accelerators and row level security templates.
- Identifying opportunities to automate repetitive BI development work, and exploring Copilot and AI driven features to improve productivity.
Location and working style
Bengaluru, Karnataka. Sigmoid's other roles mention client interaction and travel to client sites; this posting does not state it explicitly, so ask. No remote arrangement is stated.
Honest fit guidance
Read this as an automation and tooling role that happens to be in the BI domain. If you are a dashboard developer looking for the next rung, the accelerator and utility building described here is a different skill: PowerShell, REST APIs and framework design. That is the gap to close.
The migration workload is the honest picture of the job. Moving thousands of dashboards off legacy platforms is valuable, well paid and repetitive, and the accelerators exist precisely because the work would be unbearable otherwise. Some engineers enjoy the systematisation. Be sure you are one of them.
Because no years figure is published, the interview will set the level. Come with concrete examples of tooling you built to make other people's work faster.
