We are looking for a hands-on Tableau Developer with strong report-building skills and excellent SQL capabilities. The ideal candidate will have experience designing clean, insightful dashboards from complex, multi-source data and be comfortable writing and optimizing SQL to prepare data for reporting.

Experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot is highly valued, as is familiarity with Tableau Online/Server from a content-publishing perspective.

• Design and build data-driven Tableau reports and dashboards from concept through deployment.
• Design and implement optimized Custom SQL queries to structure, aggregate, and blend complex data streams for enterprise-level reporting.
• Apply a strong understanding of Tableau's order of operations, including extracts, data sources, context filters, and cascading filters.
• Diagnose slow-performing workbooks and optimize reporting performance by moving complex filtering logic into database-level SQL when appropriate.
• Write, tune, and maintain SQL queries across multiple data sources, including data lakes, Redshift, SQL Server, and Athena.
• Combine and reshape data using cross-database joins and data blending to support reporting requirements.
• Maintain and enhance reporting datasets, ensuring data remains accurate, current, and well-structured.
• Design user-friendly, intuitive dashboards and reporting interfaces.
• Troubleshoot and resolve data and report-level issues.
• Document report logic, data sources, and SQL transformations to support long-term maintainability.
• Contribute to visualization standards, style guides, and reporting best practices.
• Develop Python scripts as needed for report automation, including dashboard exports to PDF or CSV.
• Integrate Tableau reports with APIs and other tools such as R and Python for predictive or real-time reporting.
• Collaborate with AWS-based data teams using services such as S3, Glue, and Lambda to source and prepare reporting data.
• Use AI-assisted development tools and agentic engineering practices to accelerate SQL development, report building, testing, and documentation.
• Leverage AI-assisted workflows to automate repetitive data preparation, quality assurance, and refresh-scheduling tasks.

• Bachelor's degree in an analytical, technical, or related field preferred.
• 5-10+ years of professional experience, with a strong emphasis on SQL and Tableau report/dashboard development.
• Proven experience building reporting applications in a professional environment.
• Strong SQL skills, including writing, tuning, and maintaining complex queries.
• Advanced Tableau Desktop/Creator experience with demonstrated expertise in report and dashboard development.
• Solid understanding of data modeling and relational and columnar databases.
• Experience working with multiple data sources and integrating data for reporting purposes.
• Experience with AWS data services such as Athena, Glue, and S3.
• Experience with Redshift is preferred.
• Familiarity with Tableau Server or Tableau Online for content publishing is a plus.
• Tableau certification is a plus, but hands-on development experience is the priority.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot is highly valued.

• Strong analytical thinking and structured problem-solving skills.
• Ability to contribute to the migration of existing Tableau reports to Tableau Online from a report-development perspective.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and assignments simultaneously in a cross-functional environment.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies and development best practices.
• Excellent interpersonal and collaboration skills across diverse teams and disciplines.
• Self-starter who can establish priorities, work independently, and consistently achieve project goals.
