Tableau Developer (Snowflake)

# Tableau Developer (Snowflake)

## Overview

We are looking for an experienced **BI Developer** to support a large-scale BI migration and ongoing analytics development. This role sits at the intersection of **data engineering, analytics engineering, and BI development**, with a focus on moving business logic out of Tableau and into governed Snowflake models.

You will work closely with BI developers, data engineers, and stakeholders to productionalize analytics logic, improve data sources, and maintain high-quality Tableau dashboards.

This role involves a mix of:

* Validate data accuracy across legacy and migrated sources

### Data Source Migration

* Assist with BI migrations and data source standardization
* Compare datasets using SQL to validate migration correctness
* Identify schema mismatches, missing fields, and logic differences
* Document data lineage and transformation logic

### Tableau Development

* Build and maintain Tableau dashboards
* Replace legacy data sources with optimized Snowflake views
* Refactor workbooks to remove embedded SQL logic
* Implement best practices for performance and maintainability

### Version Control & Deployment

* Manage SQL models and views through Git workflows
* Submit and review pull requests for data model changes
* Participate in CI/CD workflows for analytics code deployment
* Maintain documentation of data models and reporting logic
