About
Senior Analytics Engineer
to join us on a one-year contract supporting a government-facing client. This is a hands‑on, delivery‑focused role centered on data engineering, building dashboards, analytical applications, and BI solutions that help senior government leaders make informed decisions — even when requirements aren’t fully defined from the start.
You’ll combine strong data engineering fundamentals with a sharp eye for data visualization and user experience. You know how to take ambiguous, high‑level asks from executives and translate them into polished, actionable products. You’re equally comfortable writing a pipeline as you’re designing a dashboard — and you know which one is needed when.

Design, build, and maintain interactive dashboards and analytical applications for senior government stakeholders
Translate vague or high‑level requirements from government leadership into clear, well‑scoped deliverables — and drive them to completion
Create compelling data visualizations that surface insights from complex datasets in a clear and actionable way
Own the end‑to‑end delivery of BI products: from requirement gathering and wireframing through build, QA, and handoff
Partner with stakeholders to iterate on solutions as requirements evolve, using strong communication skills to align expectations

for version control and code collaboration
Stakeholder Engagement & Communication
Engage directly with senior government officials to understand strategic goals, even when formal requirements are undefined or incomplete
Facilitate working sessions to extract requirements, validate designs, and gather feedback from non‑technical leadership
Document solutions clearly and explain technical concepts and tradeoffs to non‑technical audiences at all levels
Act as a trusted technical advisor — proactively flagging issues, proposing solutions, and communicating status with transparency
