Data & Business Intelligence Developer

Application Engineer - Business Intelligence

£75,000 - £88,000 | London - 3 days per week in office | Permanent

About the role

We're looking for a hands-on Application Engineer to take ownership of a portfolio of business applications within a small, close-knit Business Systems team of 15. This isn't a seat at the end of a reporting queue - you'll own the full pipeline, from SQL engineering and data warehouse design through to Power BI development and Azure Data Factory integrations, working as a technical product owner for the applications in your care.

The role sits within a stable, prestigious, international professional services environment that's actively evolving its technology stack - modern tools, real ownership, and a team culture built around cross-skilling and knowledge sharing rather than siloed specialisms.

What you'll be doing

• Writing and maintaining stored procedures, functions and complex SQL within a data warehousing context (Kimball or Inmon), not just ad hoc querying
• Building DAX-driven Power BI semantic models and producing paginated/SSRS-style reports - not solely dashboard design
• Delivering Azure Data Factory integrations (REST and/or OData) in a live production environment
• Working closely with vendors and stakeholders as the technical owner of your application portfolio

What we're looking for

• Hands-on SQL database engineering experience within a data warehousing context - not limited to reporting-only SQL use
• Practical Power BI development experience: DAX-driven semantic models and paginated/SSRS-style reporting
• Delivered Azure Data Factory integrations (REST and/or OData) in a production environment, not proof-of-concept only
• Experience within a legal or wider regulated professional services environment

Nice to have

• Tabular Editor, DAX Studio or ALM Toolkit
• DevOps, CI/CD and deployment pipeline experience
• Familiarity with legal sector compliance and IT security standards (eg GDPR, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus)
• Exposure to agile or iterative delivery methodologies

The process

A structured two-stage interview process: an initial conversation with two Application Leads, followed by a second stage with the Business Systems Manager and Head of Business Systems.

Company name withheld at this stage - full details shared with shortlisted candidates.
