  • Dashboarding & Visualization: You have deep, hands-on experience creating insightful and actionable dashboards. You are an expert in at least one of our primary BI tools - Tableau , Power BI , or Apache Superset - and are comfortable navigating the others.
  • Analysis as Code (GitHub): You treat analysis as code. Proficiency with Git and GitHub is essential for versioning your queries and scripts and collaborating with the team.
  • Generative AI as a Force Multiplier: You are a pragmatic user of Generative AI (e.g., Windsurf, Gemini) to accelerate your workflow-from writing code and debugging issues to managing projects and summarizing findings.
