What is a Data BI engineer?

Data BI (Business Intelligence) Engineers are professionals who design, build, and maintain systems that transform raw data into meaningful business insights. They develop data pipelines, integrate various data sources, and create reports or dashboards to support decision-making processes. Their work ensures that companies have accurate, timely, and actionable information to drive strategy and operations. Data BI Engineers typically work closely with data analysts, data scientists, and business stakeholders.

  • Work closely with engineering to optimize SQL, indexing, and extract strategies. Integration, Automation and Pipeline Monitoring
  • Collaborate with other departments to integrate Tableau Cloud with upstream systems (e.g., Salesforce, Redshift).
  • Partner closely with Data Engineering to monitor data pipeline health, implement validation checks across databases and Tableau data sources, and proactively identify syncing issues or failures before they impact downstream reporting.
  • Drive transparency across data source connections by communicating pipeline issues, failures, and potential downstream effects to impacted stakeholders in a timely manner
  • Automate extract refreshes, data source updates, and quality monitoring.
  • Utilize the Tableau REST API and Metadata API for governance automation, bulk permission management, content migration, lineage auditing, and user provisioning.
