In the role of a Senior Data Engineer you will be an integral part of developing technology that enables our vision to create fantastic play experiences for kids.

Our team is a unique blend of all player insights functions, namely data science, data engineering, business intelligence as well as market and user research.

What you’ll be doing

As a Senior Data Engineer you’ll play a key role in making sure our systems work together and support us in drawing useful insights for all our studios. This includes maintaining our current data pipelines, building foundations for new data products, and improving our data warehouse to optimise our daily work

Our data warehouse is in Google BigQuery and the bulk of our data related work is done within Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You will be responsible for maintaining and building out our data platform, work on improving our data infrastructure, and manage all 3rd party integrations into our data warehouse.

We currently work using Firebase, BigQuery and Airflow and are looking into developing an in-house event ingestion solution built for scale, improving our daily run process, as well as migrating our data warehouse setup to DBT.
Is this you?

You are a seasoned Senior Data Engineer with solid experience working with the cloud, preferably Google Cloud Platform and BigQuery. You’re comfortable working in SQL, Airflow, DBT or similar tools, and have experience working with multiple projects and data ingestion sources.

It’s helpful if you have previous experience working with data privacy (GDPR, COPPA, etc.), CI/CD pipelines, and building tables and data models.

You are a team player proficient in translating business needs into efficient data solutions that support all layers of the organisation.
