## Description

Join the Minecraft marketing technology team as a Software Engineer II to build the services layer that powers marketing measurement, attribution, and player engagement for Minecraft. Minecraft reaches hundreds of millions of players across mobile, console, and PC, and the systems behind that reach need to be reliable, privacy-conscious, and ready for global scale.

You'll work with marketing and analytics teams to build services and data systems that support our campaign and measurement goals. The team owns existing infrastructure for delivering in-app, push, and email messaging to players, and we're expanding that scope into new areas such as ad attribution, using a modern cloud and data stack with integrations across internal services and third-party marketing platforms.
Responsibilities

 * Design, build, and operate features within cloud services that support Minecraft marketing campaign delivery, measurement, and ad attribution.
 * Develop solid partnerships with marketing and business teams. Build web-based tools empowering them to send engaging campaigns and measure results.
 * Collaborate broadly with other engineering teams to improve client UI, services, and data pipelines to deliver and measure end-to-end experiences across each player's purchasing and play journey.
 * Understand Minecraft's commitments to player privacy and protection for a global audience that includes players of all ages and incorporate those commitments into the services, data flows, and integrations we build.
