Required Qualifications

• B.S. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, MIS, Data Science, or equivalent relevant experience (experience evaluated on core competencies — extracurricular leadership, military experience, volunteer roles, work experience, etc.)

• Hands-on experience with Tableau, CRM Analytics, or Tableau Next; familiarity with data visualization, dashboarding, and self-service analytics best practices

• Knowledge of related applications, relational databases, and web technology
