Bi Platforms Operations Engineer

Overview

We are looking for a hands‑on BI Platform Operations Engineer to support the reliability, administration, maintenance, and ongoing operation of enterprise Business Intelligence platforms and associated AWS services.

• Support programmatic management of QuickSight assets and permissions using QuickSight APIs and AWS SDKs
• Troubleshoot embedded QuickSight, authentication, authorization, and asset‑provisioning workflows
• Support Amazon Q Topics and other conversational or generative BI capabilities within QuickSight / Quick Suite
• Troubleshoot integrations across QuickSight, Athena, AWS Glue Data Catalog, Lake Formation, S3, and IAM
• Support AWS Lambda functions, Amazon API Gateway endpoints, and RESTful API integrations used by the BI platform
• Use Amazon CloudWatch logs, metrics, dashboards, and alarms to identify and resolve production issues
• Correlate application and AWS service logs to diagnose failures across multiple technology layers
• Assist with deployments, configuration changes, environment maintenance, and production releases
• Improve platform monitoring, alerting, reliability, supportability, and operational readiness

QUALIFICATIONS, SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:

• Strong experience with Tableau Server administration and operational support
• Strong hands‑on experience with Amazon QuickSight administration, authoring, and production support
• Experience supporting QuickSight analyses, dashboards, datasets, data sources, themes, folders, templates, permissions, and related assets

• Hands‑on experience with Amazon CloudWatch logs, metrics, dashboards, and alarms
• Strong understanding of AWS IAM roles, policies, permissions, and service‑to‑service access
• Experience troubleshooting infrastructure, data connectivity, authentication, authorization, permissions, and performance issues
• Ability to analyze application, server, API, Lambda, and AWS service logs
• Experience with production incident management, problem management, and root‑cause analysis
• Experience with scripting or automation using Python, PowerShell, Bash, AWS CLI, or similar technologies
• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, documentation, collaboration, and communication skills

NICE TO HAVE:

• Familiarity with Amazon Q in QuickSight / Quick Suite, including conversational and generative BI capabilities
• Experience with Amazon Q Topics and semantic configuration for natural‑language analytics
• Familiarity with Quick Suite agents, chat‑based experiences, and Spaces
• Experience operating a BI Platform‑as‑a‑Service or BI‑as‑a‑Service environment
