We are looking for a Business Intelligence Engineer to join our Business Intelligence team in our Montreal, Vancouver or Toronto office!

As a Business Intelligence Engineer, you will work with a dedicated team whose goal is to leverage data and provide autonomy, enabling them to make sound data-driven decisions.

If you are career-minded and looking for a dynamic work environment with a growth mindset, you will love working among our team!

  • Design, build, and maintain Power BI reports, dashboards, and semantic models following enterprise-grade best practices.
  • Develop and manage Row-Level Security (RLS) implementations across the Power BI environment.
  • Build and maintain data models, including dimensional and star-schema structures in SQL Server and Azure Synapse.
  • Write clean, optimized SQL to support reporting pipelines, data transformation, and ad hoc analysis.
  • Use Python or R to automate data workflows, perform exploratory data analysis, and support ad hoc analytical requests.
  • Participate in delta/incremental data pipeline development and maintenance alongside Data Engineering.
  • Translate complex business requirements into scalable reporting solutions across multiple business domains.
  • Proactively identify gaps in reporting coverage and surface data quality or structural issues upstream.
  • Contribute to exploratory analytics and data science initiatives within the existing data infrastructure.
  • Operate within an Agile delivery framework, managing backlog items and sprint deliverables.


Our ideal candidate

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Information Systems, or a related quantitative field
  • 1-2 years of hands-on BI or data experience (internships and university projects with real datasets count)
  • Strong SQL is non-negotiable - window functions, CTEs, query optimization, and the ability to independently investigate a dataset you've never seen before
  • Python or R proficiency is required - you should be comfortable using pandas/dplyr, writing reusable scripts, and applying basic statistical reasoning to data problems
  • Demonstrated ability to break down ambiguous business problems into structured analytical questions - you know what to ask before you start building
  • Proven attention to data quality - you cross-validate outputs, question unexpected results, and don't ship a number you can't explain
  • Working knowledge of Power BI including DAX, data modelling, and the Power BI service (RLS, workspaces, deployment pipelines)
  • Familiarity with dimensional data modelling, data warehouse concepts, and layered/medallion architecture patterns
  • Exposure to Azure data services (Synapse Analytics, Data Factory, Data Lake Storage) is an asset
  • Able to communicate data findings clearly and concisely to non-technical stakeholders - in both French and English
  • Intellectually curious, self-directed, and genuinely motivated by turning messy data into clear answers
