MicroStrategy Developer/Architect - Senior

Description

The company is looking for people with experience in enterprise Business Intelligence (BI) platforms, mainly Strategy (MicroStrategy) developers and architects.

The ideal candidate applies core BI principles to identify, define and document client needs, then decides which Strategy functionality will best meet the customer's short and long-term goals.

You will build supporting metadata objects, reports and dashboards in the latest version of Strategy, and act as the client liaison for ad hoc demos and interactive design sessions.

Strategy is the primary platform, but experience with other BI tools such as PowerBI, Tableau or Qlik is welcome, since it brings multi-platform perspective to the architecture.

The role mixes analyst, developer and architect work, involves frequent client contact, and is part of a scrum agile team that designs, configures, troubleshoots and develops Strategy products to client requirements.

• Act as the Strategy SME, guiding architecture and finding efficiencies across platform capabilities such as Mosaic and HyperIntelligence cards.
• Experience with Strategy Workstation or Developer, including dynamic dossiers, report development and project design (facts, attributes, hierarchies, aggregation, portal integration).
• Experience with Strategy schema definition, design, implementation and maintenance. Proven experience mapping equivalent semantic or enterprise data architecture layers in other enterprise BI suites is an acceptable alternative.
