The Business Intelligence Engineer (BIE) is a generalist role whose foundational knowledge spans data engineering, data science, and business analysis. More so than any other role, the BIE is an expert in the 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.

BIEs are not directly responsible for all of the above, but their understanding of the broader BI ecosystem allows them to perform the critical function of transforming raw facts into meaningful insights.
