Transform enterprise business analytics

Maxa, an AI-first organization, is seeking an intermediate BI Developer to revolutionize how enterprises unlock their data potential. In this context, you will play a pivotal role in transforming raw business data into user-friendly visuals that drive executive decision-making. You'll also work to optimize internal processes and spread your knowledge within our BI team. 

At MAXA, we unlock the potential of enterprise data through our unique AI-first technology. Say goodbye to siloed analytics and disconnected business insights that fail to drive meaningful action.

Our mission: automate the transformation of raw data into actionable financial, operational, and supply chain insights that empower executives to make confident decisions.

The impact you'll make

As a BI Developer, you'll be at the intersection of client success and technical implementation, architecting Power BI solutions that transform how enterprises make data-driven decisions. You'll have a direct, measurable impact on our clients' decision-making capabilities starting from your second week!

You'll bridge the crucial gap between business challenges and AI-powered solutions by:

• Bringing your expertise to client kick-offs - Participating from day one in client engagements, identifying technical risks before they become roadblocks, and proposing innovative solutions that exceed expectations.
• Architecting robust data models - Building scalable Power BI solutions with advanced DAX, Power Query, and semantic modeling that handle enterprise-scale data from Snowflake and complex ERP systems.
• Delivering executive-ready insights - Creating compelling data stories that transform complex datasets into clear, user-friendly tools for C-level stakeholders across finance, operations, and supply chain.
• Driving technical excellence - Implementing CI/CD processes, security frameworks (RLS), and mentoring junior developers while establishing best practices that become company standards.

You're the right fit if:

• You are familiar with Power BI's evolution - 2-3 years of hands-on Power BI experience, knowing its history from its early days to cutting-edge features like DAX Query View and TMDL.
• You're a pragmatic communicator - You can translate complex technical concepts into business value, raise red flags when needed, and educate cross-functional teams effectively.
• You speak fluent DAX and SQL - Intermdiate expertise in data modeling, Power Query (M code), and seamless integration with modern data platforms like Snowflake.
• You thrive in fast-paced environments - You're energized by 6-8 week project cycles, continuous learning, and the challenge of delivering first results within days, not months.
• You're bilingual and client-focused - Strong English and French communication skills with the ability to present confidently to executives and train end-users.

This position is not for you if:

• You prefer working in isolation rather than collaborating with client-facing teams.
• You're resistant to continuous learning in a rapidly evolving tech ecosystem (Microsoft Fabric, Copilot, new Power BI features).
• You lack the humility to ask for help or share knowledge with team members.
• You're looking for a purely backend role without client interaction or business impact.

What we offer

• $80-110K CAD base salary + stock options (Series A)
• Generous vacation: 4 weeks in first year, 5 weeks thereafter
• RRSP: 2% employer contribution after 3 months
• On-site chef: three course meals for just $12
• Growth potential: Post Series A growth with direct impact on product roadmap
