• Developing dashboards and reporting tools using Superset, Dash, and Plotly.
  
  
• Identifying and resolving inefficiencies in data workflows.
  
  
• Enabling stakeholders to make data-driven decisions through automated reporting.
  
  
• Collaborating closely with Client teams to understand data needs and deliver solutions.

• Product or analytics-driven environments (strong reporting/data handling needs).
  
  

Why Join Virtasant?
