HIRE DEVELOPERS  /  POWER BI DEVELOPERS

Power BIdevelopment thatturns data into decisions.

Power BI turns raw business data into decisions — but only when the data model is built correctly and the reports actually answer the right questions. Our Power BI development work includes production dashboards with proper star schema data models, optimised DAX measures, and row-level security for enterprise data access control.

Why Entalogics

Why teams hire
Power BI developers from us.

Data modelling with star and snowflake schemas, Power Query (M) for data transformation, DAX for calculated measures and KPIs, and Power BI Service for deployment, workspace management, and scheduled refresh — the full analytics stack our Power BI developers work across, not just report design.

EXPERT BENCH01

Power BI developers, vetted for data modelling depth.

Star schema design, DAX iterator vs aggregator functions, query folding in Power Query, row-level security, and real experience building dashboards that perform under enterprise data volumes — vetted for data modelling depth, not just dragging fields onto a canvas.

FAST HIRING02

Bar charts are easy, this pool isn't.

Power BI users who can make a bar chart are everywhere. Developers who can model a star schema, write CALCULATE with proper filter context, optimise a report that takes 30 seconds to load, and deploy with proper RLS are a small pool. We keep them ready.

FLEXIBLE ENGAGEMENT03

Power BI staff augmentation, sized to fit.

A dedicated developer for a company-wide BI rollout. A part-time specialist for ongoing Power BI support and monthly report maintenance. An hourly consultant for a DAX performance audit or a data model review. Sized to fit.

Hiring model

Three ways
to staff your Power BI build.

Most Power BI reports get built by analysts who know the business but not the data modelling — slow reports, incorrect calculations, dashboards that can't scale. Our developers treat Power BI development as an engineering problem: data model first, DAX second, visuals last. That order is why our reports perform correctly under real enterprise data volumes.

M01160h / mo

Full-time hiring

One Power BI developer, embedded full-time, owning the data model, writing DAX measures, building reports, and managing Power BI Service deployment. Right for an organisation rolling out BI across multiple departments.

M0280h / mo

Part-time hiring

Twenty hours a week of focused Power BI work — enough for ongoing report maintenance, adding new measures, fixing slow reports, onboarding new data sources, or configuring scheduled refresh and RLS for new teams.

M0340h blocks

Hourly hiring

A data model restructuring, a DAX performance audit, a Power Query optimisation, a row-level security configuration, or a migration from Excel reports to Power BI — targeted Power BI consulting, scoped and delivered.

  • Shared standups + report reviews
  • Clear DRI per dataset
Stack & tooling

The stack our Power BI
development team ships with.

Full analytics stack expertise from data source to published dashboard — what our engineers actually work with, daily.

Power BI Desktop

Report authoring, data modelling, and publish to the service.

DAX

Measures, time intelligence, and filter-context calculations.

Power Query (M)

ETL transformations with query folding to the source.

SQL

Source queries and DirectQuery models against warehouses.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Straight answers.

Six questions we get on every first call about hiring Power BI developers. If yours isn't here, we'll cover it first.

SQL Server, Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Dataverse, SharePoint lists, Excel files, REST APIs, Snowflake, Databricks, Google Analytics, Salesforce, and hundreds more via built-in and custom connectors. If your data has an API or a database, our Power BI developers can connect to it.
DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) is the formula language behind every calculation in Power BI. A well-written measure returns the right answer instantly; a poorly written one returns the wrong answer slowly. The difference comes down to understanding filter context, row context, and when to use CALCULATE versus iterators — where most self-taught Power BI users get stuck.
Yes. We audit the data model first — usually the culprit is a missing star schema, too many calculated columns, or bidirectional relationships creating ambiguity. Then the DAX measures: nested CALCULATE, unnecessary iterators, missing variables. Most slow reports improve 5–10x from model restructuring alone.
RLS roles defined in the data model, assigned to Azure AD security groups in Power BI Service. Users see only the data their role permits, tested with "View as Role" before deployment. One report, role-filtered — not a separate report per department.
Yes. Power BI Embedded for customer-facing analytics, embed tokens generated server-side, capacity reserved via Azure. Reports render inside your app's UI with your branding — users never see Power BI directly.
Yes. Scheduled refresh via Power BI Service or an on-premises data gateway for local sources, incremental refresh for large datasets, refresh failure alerts configured, dataflows for shared data preparation reused across multiple reports.
