What Does a Business Intelligence Developer Do?
A BI developer builds the reporting layer of a business — modelling data, writing the SQL behind it, and building dashboards in tools like Power BI, Tableau or Looker. They make sure the numbers on a leadership dashboard are correct, current and understood.
It sits between data engineering and analysis, and is a very common remote role in data teams.
