Your work will ensure that our platform remains a source of truth, maintaining the highest levels of reliability and governance for our government partners.

- Dashboarding & Visualization: Create self-service reporting in tools like Tableau, Sigma, AWS Quicksight to help stakeholders and Product teams track the customer journey.
- Data Pipeline Engineering: Design and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines that ingest first-party data from clients and third-party data from CRMs (Salesforce/HubSpot) and advertising platforms (Google/Meta Ads).
- Create and Maintain Data & BI Environments: Own the end-to-end creation and ongoing maintenance of development, staging, QA and production migration environments.
Strategic Goals
Your success in this role will be defined by three key pillars:
- Platform Modernization & Scalability: Transform the BI stack into a modern platform that prioritizes governance and security. You will implement non-complex solutions that scale, ensuring our infrastructure is robust from the ground up to anticipate emerging business needs.
