Senior Software Engineer, AQL Interface (C++)
Kirkland, WA

Job Description

What you'll be doing...

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be working on the AQL Interface team with a mission to rewrite a part of Tableau to use an internal functional query language. The team designed and built the language and now is our chance to use it!

Some of the things you'll be doing...

* Learn the details of how Tableau generates queries from the UI
* Rewrite the query generation code to use our internal language
* Find patterns that can be refactored to be more flexible
* Debug from the IDE and from logs
* Measure performance
* Keep the language consistent and clean
* Write in C++

Who you are…

* Experienced. You have 5+ years of software development and testing experience. You understand how to build services and have a passion for creating amazing customer experiences.
* Goldilocks. UI too high up the stack? SQL too low down the stack? We're in the middle!
* Flexible and highly-technical. You know your stuff inside and out, but you aren't afraid to learn new areas and stretch yourself to handle whatever need arises.
* A True Team Player. You enjoy collaborating, learning from or teaching others so we can all become better developers. People love working with you because you help them up their game.
* A Problem Solver. You have a passion for solving complex problems, be they at work or in your spare time on your own projects.
* You are a Recruiter! Tableau hires company builders and, in this role, you will be asked to be on the constant lookout for the best talent to bring onboard to help us continue to build one of the best companies in the world
