Our hybrid model requires you to be in the office on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays to foster collaboration and creativity.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement processes to extract, clean, and transform data from various sources to ensure it is ready for consumption/analysis.
• Collaborate with data scientists and analysts to understand their data needs and provide them with reliable datasets / data marts.
• Design and implement data models using industry best practices that capture a complete ecosystem view of in- and out-of-game experiences (major game analytics KPI’s, user profile/history) while ensuring accuracy, compliance, scalability, and long-term usability.
• Create and maintain comprehensive data documentation, including data dictionaries, schemas, and metadata. Ensure that data definitions are consistent and easily accessible to all stakeholders.
• Monitor data pipelines and systems to ensure high availability and performance alongside our data engineer; implement automated data quality checks, validation processes and alerts ensuring the accuracy and reliability of data.
• Write efficient, maintainable, and scalable code using best practices.
• Conduct code and SQL reviews and provide feedback to ensure high standards of code quality within the team.
• Stay updated with the latest trends, technologies and best practices in data engineering and analytics and share knowledge with the team.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field with 5+ years experience as an Analytics Engineer, Data Engineer, Data Architect, or similar role.
• Strong proficiency in SQL and experience in designing efficient and scalable data models with large data sets across multiple teams.
• Experience with ETL/ELT processes and tools (e.g. Apache Airflow, Talend, DBT… DBT being a big plus).
• Familiarity with cloud-based data platforms (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure… GCP being a big plus) and experience with “Infrastructure as Code” process (e.g. Terraform).
• Excellent problem’s solving skills and attention to detail coupled with strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams.
• Passion for gaming and a deep understanding of the gaming industry is a plus!
