The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in LookML development, data modelling, and creating custom visualizations. 

This role involves not only creating dashboards, dimensions, and measures but also implementing performance enhancements and advanced visualizations beyond Lookers out-of-the-box capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and Maintain LookML Models

Create and maintain LookML models, including dimensions, measures, and dashboards. Optimize LookML code for performance, scalability, and ease of use across the organization, leveraging AI tools for code generation and optimization where appropriate.

Custom Visualizations

Design and implement custom JavaScript visualizations and integrate them into Looker to extend functionality beyond the standard visualizations provided by Looker.

AI-Enhanced Development

Utilize AI-powered tools to automate repetitive coding tasks, optimize LookML models, and refactor SQL queries for better performance. Leverage AI in debugging and testing to improve code quality and reduce development time.

Performance Optimization

Implement caching mechanisms, pre-calculated data, and other performance enhancements to ensure fast rendering of dashboards and visualizations. Continuously monitor and tune LookML models and workflows to improve performance and minimize latency, using AI-driven insights for optimization.

API Integration

Utilize Lookers API to fetch data and integrate it with custom front-end visualizations. Ensure seamless integration of Looker data with external applications and systems.

Embedding and Theming

Embed Looker dashboards and visualizations within iframes and enable interaction with surrounding web pages. Apply custom themes and styling to Looker dashboards to match company branding.

Collaboration

Work closely with the development team to ensure that Looker visualizations integrate seamlessly into web portals and internal tools. Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand their analytics needs and translate them into actionable data models and visualizations.

Documentation

Maintain comprehensive documentation for LookML models, custom visualizations, and integrations, ensuring knowledge sharing across the team.

Troubleshooting and Debugging
