Furthermore, you will play a key role in updating Palmetto’s BI stack to allow for a conversational, AI-assisted business-facing analytics tool. This will involve centralizing much of Palmetto’s distributed data knowledge, and cultivating an understanding of prompt engineering and smart guardrails in order to feel safe and confident about allowing a conversational interface to answer the business’s data-driven questions.In summary, you will work across the spectrum of data analytics; from ad-hoc queries, to reporting database updates, to visualization-building, to notebook-writing, to AI-scaling, and more.
