What you'll be doing. We are looking for an experienced Software Architect to make intuitive high level decisions for software development. You will see the big picture and create architectural approaches for software design and implementation to guide the development team. You'll be developing cutting-edge software for the best visual data analysis products available. Query processing is one of the most complex technical challenges in Tableau. You will compile, optimize and rewrite queries for all different types of data sources. In addition to traditional relational query optimization, you'll work on optimizing federated queries across multiple data sources with diverse, often non-relational, data models. You will be expanding the analytical product capabilities and performance of the Tableau products through query optimization and through our custom in-memory columnar storage engine. You will be constantly challenged to leverage your creativity and your technical prowess to improve Tableau. Some of the things you'll be doing include. Extend and improve Tableau's query pipeline that creates analytical queries enabling visualization of data. Improve query performance through new algorithms, caching, concurrency, and scaling. These queries can operate on dozens of database platforms, enabling individual users and enterprises to rapidly federate and explore their data through insightful visualizations. Create innovative algorithms to provide a better experience with live queries against an ever more diverse set of data sources. These may include API-based web data sources, cubes, graph data, relational and NoSQL systems such as Hadoop.
