• Deploy, configure, and administer Tableau Server including high-availability environments
• Manage Power BI Service administration including workspaces, capacity management, and gateway configuration
• Manage user accounts, roles, permissions, and content governance across both platforms
• Monitor platform performance, manage extract and refresh schedules, and troubleshoot issues

• Embed Tableau dashboards using Tableau Connected Apps with JWT-based SSO

• Ensure compliance with federal security requirements including FedRAMP and agency-specific ATO requirements
• Coordinate with portal and application development teams on embedding API implementation
• Work within AWS GovCloud and/or Microsoft Azure cloud environments
• Collaborate with data engineering teams leveraging AWS services such as Redshift, RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, Glue, and Lambda
• Support analytics workloads on Databricks, including Delta Lake table consumption and pipeline coordination
• Ensure reporting architectures isolate analytics workloads from transactional processing systems
• Support infrastructure setup and deployment using Terraform and GitLab
• Partner with business stakeholders to gather and refine reporting requirements
