This role supports the operational side of enterprise analytics platforms, including Alteryx, Microsoft Fabric, and Power BI.\nThis is not primarily a dashboard-development or workflow-building role. The work is about helping keep platforms stable, secure, governed, visible, and improving. You will support platform administration, access management, monitoring, capacity awareness, upgrades, incident coordination, documentation, and communication with technical support teams and vendors.\nYou do not need to be an expert in every platform on day one. Strong candidates will have real hands-on experience with at least one enterprise data, analytics, infrastructure, or application platform - and the technical judgment and curiosity to grow across the rest.\nWhat you'll do\nSupport the administration and day-to-day operation of enterprise analytics and data platforms, including Alteryx, Microsoft Fabric, and Power BI\nHelp manage user access, roles, permissions, workspace or platform configuration, and related governance processes\nMonitor platform health, performance, usage, capacity, refreshes, scheduled workloads, and recurring operational risks\nSupport upgrades, patches, maintenance, releases, and approved platform changes through established change-control processes\nInvestigate platform issues, gather the right technical information, and coordinate effectively with L3 support teams and software vendors\nHelp initiate and track software packaging, deployment, release, and platform-change activity\nMaintain clear documentation, runbooks, knowledge articles, support procedures, and escalation paths\nIdentify repeat issues and contribute to automation, reliability, observability, and operational-improvement work\nWork within a US client’s delivery cadence: tickets, standups, planning, risk reviews, status updates, and delivery deadlines\nCommunicate clearly in English with engineers, platform owners, support teams, vendors, and business stakeholders\nRequirements\nThese are the baseline requirements for this role.\n2-4 years of professional experience in platform engineering, infrastructure, enterprise application support, data engineering, analytics operations, or a closely related technical role\nHands-on experience supporting, administering, or operating a production technology platform - not only developing against it\nExperience with at least one of the following:Alteryx Server or related analytics-platform administration\nMicrosoft Fabric or Power BI administration\nCloud, data-platform, infrastructure, or enterprise application operations\n\nPractical understanding of user access, permissions, RBAC, identity, or enterprise governance processes\nExperience investigating issues, following support procedures, and escalating clearly to more senior technical teams or vendors\nComfortable working with tickets, documentation, checklists, and operational priorities\nStrong written and spoken English\nAble to work independently, ask good questions, communicate blockers early, and follow through reliably\nValuable experience\nYou do not need every item below. Strong candidates will have depth insome of these areas and the ability to learn the rest\nAlteryx Server: Gallery, Controller, Workers, user administration, licensing, upgrades, or monitoring\nMicrosoft Power BI or Fabric: workspaces, capacities, gateways, refreshes, tenant settings, deployment pipelines, or governance\nAzure, AWS, cloud infrastructure, or data-platform services\nSQL Server, PostgreSQL, or relational database administration\nMonitoring, observability, incident management, or operational reporting\nPowerShell, Python, APIs, scripting, or automation\nITSM tools, change management, release coordination, or enterprise support processes\nDocker, CI/CD, software deployment, or package-management workflows\nData pipelines, data quality, reporting platforms, or analytics operations\nWhat success looks like\nWithin your first months on a client team, you can:\nTake ownership of defined platform-support work without needing constant direction\nExplain the health, risks, current priorities, and open issues of the platform work you support\nHandle routine administration, access requests, monitoring, and incident coordination reliably\nWork within governance, security, access, and change-management expectations\nEscalate issues with the right evidence, context, and urgency\nKeep documentation and handoffs clean enough that others can operate from them\nEarn trust through consistency, good judgment, and follow-through\nHow we work with AI\nI is part of modern technology delivery at Primeforge. We use it to move faster: exploring unfamiliar systems, drafting documentation and runbooks, analysing logs, generating implementation options, accelerating troubleshooting, and reducing repetitive work.\nAI does not replace engineering judgment.\nYou are still responsible for understanding the systems you work in, validating output, protecting client information, following approved change processes, and standing behind the work you deliver. Strong platform engineers use AI to improve their leverage, not to avoid thinking.\nWhat we offer\nCompetitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including savings account contributions, daily catered lunches, commuting allowance, paid time off, and more.\nReal delivery experience with global enterprise clients\nStructured mentorship and a pathway to deepen your data-engineering specialization\nAn opportunity to be part of a mission-driven company transforming the tech landscape in West Africa.\nA high-accountability environment where strong work creates real career momentum\nIf you’re passionate about software, data and platform engineering and want to grow your career with Primeforge, we’d love to hear from you!","description_format":"text","description_chars":6018,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T16:53:36Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.293,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":63,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/primeforge-platform-engineer-data-analytics-platforms","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/primeforge-platform-engineer-data-analytics-platforms.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T06:43:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9191,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4418213},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4418213"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fprimeforge-platform-engineer-data-analytics-platforms"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fprimeforge-platform-engineer-data-analytics-platforms"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fprimeforge-platform-engineer-data-analytics-platforms"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/primeforge-platform-engineer-data-analytics-platforms\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fprimeforge-platform-engineer-data-analytics-platforms"}]}
