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
