Tableau Engineer

JOB DESCRIPTION:
Position Title: Tableau Engineer
Location: Remote
Duration: Long Term Contract

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.

Responsibilities:

• 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

Required Skills:

• 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

Preferred Skills:

• 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
