Business Intelligence Data Engineer
Huntsman is seeking a Business Intelligence Data Engineer supporting the Global Reporting & Analytics (GRA) environment located in San Jose, Costa Rica. This position will report to the Manager Finance II
Job Scope
The Business Intelligence Data Engineer is a hybrid role that bridges Business Intelligence (BI) analytics and data engineering within the Global Reporting & Analytics (GRA) environment. This role is designed for a hands-on professional who is both able and willing to develop dashboards and analytical products while also supporting data engineering activities on the Databricks-based data platform.
The Business Intelligence Data Engineer partners closely with the Lead Data Engineer and BI/Data Analysts to ensure high-quality, scalable, and well-modeled data assets that enable trusted reporting, advanced analytics, and effective decision-making.

- Design and deliver high-quality dashboards and analytical products using Power BI, partnering with stakeholders to translate business needs into actionable insights.
- Ensure BI solutions are intuitive, performant, and aligned with standardized definitions and metrics.
- Support the Lead Data Engineer in developing and maintaining data pipelines and transformations within the Databricks platform.
- Write and optimize SQL and Python-based transformations to produce curated, analytics-ready datasets.
- Assist with data integration, data quality checks, and validation processes.
- Contribute to analytical data models and semantic layers that support scalable, trusted reporting.
- Act as a technical bridge between BI Analysts and Data Engineers, enabling effective use of data platform capabilities.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver end-to-end analytical solutions and continuously improve BI and data assets.
