Tableau Engineer

Client: Education Industry

Title: Tableau Engineer

Duration: Long Term

Location: 100% Remote

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
