Role Required Description
Analytics Engineer Required Creates simple dashboards in Metabase/Looker/Tableau based on prepared dbt models. Understands data visualization principles: chart type selection, filters, drill-down. Works with the mart layer as the primary source for BI.
BI Analyst Required Builds basic dashboards in Tableau and Power BI following team templates. Understands core KPI definitions and applies standard visualization types for executive reporting. Follows BI style guides and documentation for consistent output.
Data Analyst Required Creates exploratory dashboards with basic filters and drill-downs. Understands standard chart types for statistical visualization. Builds simple cohort views and follows team conventions for dashboard layout and naming.
Data Scientist Builds basic ML experiment dashboards to track model metrics. Understands standard plots for feature importance and model performance. Integrates simple visualizations with MLflow or W&B following team practices.
Role Required Description
Analytics Engineer Required Designs analytical dashboards with correct business logic: metric calculation at the BI vs dbt level, parameterized reports, cross-filtering. Optimizes dashboard performance through proper data modeling in the mart layer.
BI Analyst Required Independently designs interactive dashboards in Tableau and Power BI with calculated fields and LOD expressions. Optimizes query performance for large datasets. Implements self-service BI layers enabling business users to explore KPIs autonomously.
Data Analyst Required Independently builds analytical dashboards with advanced statistical visualizations and dynamic cohort analysis. Optimizes dashboard performance through query tuning and data extracts. Creates A/B test dashboards with significance indicators and confidence intervals.
Data Scientist Independently builds model monitoring dashboards tracking drift, accuracy, and latency metrics. Optimizes visualization pipelines for real-time experiment tracking. Integrates MLflow and W&B dashboards into team workflows for reproducible ML reporting.
Role Required Description
Analytics Engineer Required Defines BI development standards: semantic layer / LookML / Tableau data models for metric consistency, dashboard templates for typical business tasks. Optimizes dbt model and BI interaction through extract-based or live connection approaches.
BI Analyst Required Designs enterprise BI architecture across Tableau, Power BI, and Looker with governed data models and semantic layers. Optimizes dashboard ecosystems for thousands of concurrent users. Implements data quality frameworks and row-level security for executive reporting.
Data Analyst Required Designs scalable dashboard architecture for advanced statistical visualization and cross-functional cohort analysis. Optimizes for big data sources with incremental refresh and materialized views. Implements data governance ensuring metric consistency across A/B test and analytics dashboards.
Data Scientist Required Designs end-to-end ML observability dashboards covering model lifecycle from training to production. Optimizes visualization systems for large-scale experiment tracking across teams. Implements governance frameworks for feature importance reporting and model performance transparency.
Role Required Description
Analytics Engineer Required Defines the organization's BI strategy: tool selection and standardization (Looker vs Tableau vs Metabase), governance for metrics and dashboards, self-service analytics for business users. Implements a semantic layer for unified metric definitions.
