Senior Software Engineer / Staff Software Engineer / Principal Software Engineer (Tableau)

Who We Are

Tableau is as much a philosophy as an amazing suite of tools. We enable people to transform data into something visual and understandable, empowering them to make important decisions based on those insights. If you are passionate about technology, but also care deeply about doing something meaningful, Tableau is the place for you. Our products have been key in helping organizations with data to address not just the immediate crises, but also the longstanding inequities behind them, including Climate Action, Equity, Global Health & Poverty.

In this role, you'll…
Work with a team of top-tier software engineers
Work across teams to make sure we are building great experiences for customers while using new infrastructure and technologies
Work across the Tableau code stack in C++, C#, Java, Go, etc.
Collaborate with product management and user experience colleagues to bring useful and delightful experience to our customers

Who you are…
Experienced. You have experience developing code and a proven track record of shipping software.
Exceptional Coding. You understand what it takes to write software that is used by millions of people. You love writing things that "just work" - things that are reliable, scalable, and secure. You think far enough ahead to avoid tech debt, but know how to avoid over-engineering. You are agile and can prototype, learn, adapt, and pivot as needed.
Relentlessly High Standards. Your personal software practices ensure you deliver high quality even under schedule pressure. You believe in automation and writing tests for your own code as a way of maintaining high quality in your products. “Good enough” is never good enough!
Innovative. You have a history of finding pragmatic solutions to difficult problems. You have experience working on ambitious, forward-looking projects.
Team Player. You enjoy collaborating, learning from or teaching others so we can all become better developers.
Passionate. You are passionate about technology and the work you do. You always want to do your best to delight the customers, help your team and strive to excellence.
You are a Recruiter! Tableau hires company builders and, in this role, you will be asked to be on the lookout for the best talent to bring onboard to help us continue to build one of the best companies in the world.

Technical Focus Areas

Analytics
We make fast, easy, and beautiful analytical experiences for people everywhere. We are responsible for evolving the analytical experiences that our customers associate with Tableau, and inventing new experiences (e.g. Ask Data) that broaden our reach to new classes of information users.

At Scale
We build the products that reach business users with data and make it easier for them to get value from it. We are focused on expanding the number of people who use Tableau regularly to see and understand their data.

Data
We build core capabilities in support of the Tableau mission to help people see and understand data. We achieve this through trusted innovative technology and methods to safely connect to, shape, clean, catalog, alert, and track our customers’ critical data with performant and scalable technology and services.

OCTO (Office of the CTO)
We help Tableau innovate on our mission by going to those places that our production Development teams do not today - those domains where they don’t know what to do or don’t know how to do them. We generate new knowledge in these domains as well as entirely new domains through research, experimentation and prototyping.

Platform & Infrastructure
We focus on Cloud Engineering for Tableau Online; Server and Cloud Platform, the shared enterprise grade platform and infrastructure on which Tableau Server and Online run; Build and Tools that provides developers with an ecosystem of tools, services and learning; and Core Services, a new area of investment for common services to drive software productivity through reusable software.

Product Operations
We drive the development ecosystem for Dev team enablement. This includes ownership of an agile operation model that supports and promotes engineering excellence, process efficiency and org transformation to delivery of product at Global Scale.

We have a public-facing website https://www.getsalesforcebenefits.com/en that explains our various benefits, including wellbeing reimbursement, generous parental leave, adoption assistance, fertility benefits, and more. Visit for the full breakdown!
