Overview
A Business Intelligence Engineer (BIE) has foundational knowledge that spans engineering, data science, and business analysis. A BIE is an expert in data itself: the systems by which the data is generated, how data is transformed and aggregated into metrics, how reporting and analysis are built on top of the data, and how the resulting insights drive the business.
