Job Title:BI Developer|Business Intelligence Sage
Region: Centreville, VA
Duration: 6 months-H1B’s
Job Description:
BI Developer / Business Intelligence Sage
BI
Developer / Business Intelligence Sage to support projects within
Business Intelligence team. In this role, you will help provide trusted
reporting, data, and analytics:
• Demonstrate the value we provide to dealers, partners, shops, and consumers
• Assess product performance and influence future direction
• Support internal business operations
We
are turning BI on its head to meet Carfax’s rapidly changing business
needs. Traditional BI/DW approaches cannot keep up, so we do things
differently than most companies. Thus, this job is not for everyone.
Before applying, please read the position description carefully and
consider whether this job might be a fit for you.
You will thrive in this job if you:
•
Enjoy Variety—in the projects you support, the roles you play, and the
technologies you apply to deliver the solutions needed. The status quo
bores you.
• See the Big Picture—you want to understand the
business problem you are trying to address and the data needed before
you begin to build a report or dashboard.
• Think Creatively—you
love to find new ways to obtain best practices results in
non-traditional ways. You would prefer to help create new best practices
approaches for solving difficult problems, if existing best practices
cannot adequately address a challenge.
• Are a Lifelong
Learner—you love learning new things about the business, systems, and
data. Learning new tools and technologies energizes you, and you pick
them up quickly.
• Seek Continuous Process Improvement—you are
always seeking ways to do things better, faster, and cheaper. You like
to set goals for improvement and measure results. You hold yourself and
others accountable for achieving those goals.
You will be miserable in this job if you:
•
Enjoy Routine—you prefer building traditional BI solutions using BI
tools and technologies that you already know. Learning new technologies
stresses you out.
• Prefer a Slow, Steady Pace—you are comfortable
working on long projects that deliver traditional BI solutions. You
believe 3-6 months is a reasonable timeframe to deliver a typical
project. Working at a rapid pace stresses you out.
• Are a Tool
Jockey—you know your tool, but you cannot explain the business problem
you are trying to solve. Someone gives you a report spec and you know
the right buttons to press in the tool to create the report or
dashboard.
• Are an Individual Contributor—you may work on a team,
but you prefer to solve problems by yourself. Brainstorming and
debating ideas with a group of developers drains your energy. You prefer
to implement your own solution rather than solutions that were designed
by the group and may include ideas that are not your own.
Requirements:
• Demonstrated ability to thrive in our environment (see above)
• Significant experience designing, developing, testing, and optimizing BI solutions. Experience with Cognos required.
• Strong, demonstrated understanding of data warehousing concepts
• Excellent problem solving skills and strong attention to detail
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with business and technical communities
• All candidates subject to a full background check
