About the role

  • Administer and manage Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud (Tableau Online), including security, governance, user access, schedules, and data refreshes.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve refresh failures, broken datasets, access requests, and slow performance across Tableau reports/dashboards; implement durable fixes and prevention.
  • Design, architect, and implement large‑scale data platform solutions on Snowflake, AWS, and Azure, including data lakes, data warehouses, and integrations.
  • Create and publish Tableau reports, dashboards, and workbooks; diagnose and fix visual and data issues; recommend optimizations for datasets, extracts, and visuals.
  • Provide configuration, infrastructure, and performance tuning recommendations for Tableau Server (scalability, HA, caching, extracts vs live, backgrounder optimization).
  • Lead platform modernization and data migrations to cloud platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift), ensuring robust integration with upstream and downstream systems.
  • Identify and implement automation to improve platform reliability and productivity (provisioning, deployments, permissions, monitoring, cost controls).
  • Establish platform security and Data Governance best practices (RBAC, SSO/SAML, encryption, auditing, compliance controls) across Tableau and cloud data platforms.
  • Engineer resilient processes to adapt to changes in upstream sources; plan and communicate breaking changes to minimize downstream impact and ensure scalability.
  • Deliver project‑based consulting to deploy, manage, govern, and optimize Tableau and cloud data platforms; act as a trusted advisor to meet business goals.
  • Run client communications: weekly status reports, proactive working sessions, feedback loops, and expectation management.
  • Manage operations: report subscriptions, alerts, and embedding Tableau dashboards into other applications.
  • Respond to pager incidents, perform deep problem analysis across customer workflows, and resolve complex production issues.
  • Document best practices for Tableau administration and cloud data platforms; build onboarding and end‑user training materials.
  • Partner with sales, engineering, and support for seamless delivery; mentor junior engineers and promote a learning culture.

Requirements

  • 10+ years architecting, designing, implementing, and operating cloud‑native data platforms and solutions (Solutions Architecture).
  • 5+ years administering, configuring, and developing on Tableau Server and/or Tableau Cloud.
  • Exceptional client‑facing communication and project management; able to present to executives and produce clear solution documentation.
  • Cloud expertise across AWS and Azure services relevant to data platforms (e.g., S3, ADLS, Kinesis, Data Factory), and strong hands‑on with Snowflake.
  • Enterprise data platform operations: performance tuning, capacity planning, cost optimization, observability, and incident response.
  • Ability to provide configuration, infrastructure, and performance tuning guidance for Tableau Server (including backgrounders, VizQL, caching, extracts, and scaling).
  • Administrative automation using PowerShell, Bash, command‑line tooling, or the Tableau REST API; familiarity with TSC/TSM automation.
  • Expertise with Tableau Server maintenance and upgrades via Tableau Services Manager (TSM).
  • Strong SQL mastery (advanced Microsoft SQL—writing, debugging, and optimizing).
  • DevOps/IaC proficiency: Terraform or CloudFormation; CI/CD with Bitbucket or GitHub; versioning, testing, promotion workflows.
  • Data integration experience with tools such as AWS DMS, Azure Data Factory, Matillion, Fivetran, or Spark.
  • Strong problem solving with demonstrated curiosity and continuous learning mindset.
