Profile

We're looking for a hands-on Tableau developer with strong report-building skills and excellent SQL ability. The ideal candidate thrives in designing clean, insightful dashboards from complex, multi-source data and is comfortable writing and optimizing SQL to shape that data before it reaches a dashboard. Comfort with agentic engineering practices and AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot) to speed up coding, testing, and documentation is highly valued. Familiarity with Tableau Online/Server from a content-publishing perspective (not full admin ownership) is a plus.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build data-driven Tableau reports and dashboards from concept to deployment
• Design and implement highly optimized Custom SQL queries to structure, aggregate, and blend complex data streams for enterprise-level reporting.
• Deep understanding of Tableau's order of operations, including expert execution of extract, data source, context, and cascading filters.
• Proven experience diagnosing slow workbooks and shifting heavy front-end filtering logic into parameterized database-level SQL.
• Write, tune, and maintain SQL queries across multiple data sources (Data Lake, Redshift, SQL Server, Athena)
• Combine and reshape data using cross-database joins and data blending to support reporting needs
• Maintain and evolve reporting datasets — ensuring data stays accurate, current, and well-structured for downstream use
• Focus on user-friendly, intuitive dashboard design and interface development
• Troubleshoot and resolve data or report-level issues
• Document report logic, data sources, and SQL transformations for maintainability
• Contribute to a standard visualization style guide and reporting best practices
• Develop Python scripts as needed for report automation (e.g., exporting dashboards as PDF/CSV)
• Integrate Tableau reports with APIs or other tools (R, Python) for predictive/real-time reporting
• Collaborate with AWS-based data teams (S3, Glue, Lambda) to source and prep report data
• Apply agentic engineering practices and AI coding tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot) to accelerate SQL development, report building, testing, and documentation
• Use AI-assisted workflows to automate repetitive data-prep, QA, and refresh-scheduling tasks

About You

• BA/BS required (analytical field preferred)
• 5–10+ years of experience, with strong emphasis on SQL and Tableau report/dashboard development
• Proven experience building reporting applications in a professional environment
• Solid understanding of data modeling and relational/columnar databases
• Tableau certification is a plus, but development skill is the priority
• Comfortable using AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot) and agentic engineering workflows to speed up development, testing, and documentation

More About You

• Strong analytical thinking and structured problem-solving ability
• Comfortable contributing to migration of existing Tableau reports to Tableau Online, from a report-development standpoint
• Ability to handle multiple projects and assignments simultaneously in a cross-functional team environment
• Versed in agile methodology and best practices
• Excellent interpersonal and collaboration skills across diverse teams and disciplines
• Self-starter, able to set priorities, work independently, and attain goals
