BI ENGINEER

Long-term contract with a Big 4 consulting firm supporting a hospital and healthcare system engagement

Remote: Working MST Hours

Travel: Once a month to client site in Albuquerque, NM

The BI Engineer serves as a technical lead within the Data & Analytics Managed Services, taking end-to-end ownership of the enterprise Tableau environment. This role goes beyond development — it drives architectural decisions, mentors junior developers, engages directly with business stakeholders across PHP, PDS/PMG, Quality, and System Services, and leads the evolution of the reporting platform from stabilization through modernization. The BI Engineer is expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, accountability, and a continuous improvement mindset within a managed services delivery model.

• Conduct peer code and design reviews, ensuring quality and consistency across the development team
• Evaluate and drive adoption of new Tableau features (e.g., Tableau Pulse, dynamic parameters, Einstein analytics integration) aligned to roadmap
• Own L2/L3 support escalations for complex Tableau incidents including performance degradation, data discrepancies, and environment issues
• Lead larger enhancement delivery end-to-end from requirements through deployment, managing scope, timeline, and stakeholder expectations
• Drive reduction of high-volume manual work (dataset refreshes, extract modifications, report distribution) through automation and self-service enablement
• Maintain and improve the ServiceNow backlog, ensuring accurate classification, prioritization, and throughput reporting
• Proactively communicate backlog status, delivery timelines, and capacity constraints to stakeholders and leadership
• Support CSAT measurement and improvement by owning stakeholder satisfaction within the Tableau delivery domain
• Mentor and coach junior/mid-level BI Engineers, conducting knowledge transfer sessions and supporting skills growth
• Maintain comprehensive documentation including runbooks, design standards, onboarding guides, and operational playbooks
