Job description
- Build the semantic layer that translates raw gameplay data into validated gameplay and business concepts.
- Develop AI-driven automated reporting, dashboards, and insight-generation workflows.
- Evaluate and implement AI tools, agents, and workflows that improve analytics speed, reliability, and depth.
- Review AI-generated code and analytics on critical paths before they reach production.
Generate Product Intelligence
- Identify opportunities, risks, anomalies, and trends across gameplay and player behavior.
- Support product, balancing, design, and leadership teams with data-driven recommendations.
- Translate complex datasets into clear, actionable insights.
Set the Agentic Bar
- Help define how the wider engineering organization adopts agentic practices.
- Establish standards for tooling, review processes, quality gates, and what âdoneâ means when agents generate most of the implementation.
Requirements
- Several years of experience building analytics or data-driven systems in production environments, ideally in gaming or mobile.
- Deep comfort with LLMs, agents, and AI-assisted engineering workflows in production environments.
- Hands-on experience using agentic workflows and AI coding tools in real-world projects.
- The ability to discuss concretely how you:
- structure prompts and context,
- manage autonomous and multi-agent workflows, including when to intervene,
- use MCP servers, custom tools, skills, or subagents,
- review AI-generated code and queries without becoming a bottleneck.
- Strong experience working with behavioral, transactional, or event-based datasets and deriving actionable insights from complex data.
- Strong Python and SQL skills. You read and own code you did not write and verify outputs independently rather than blindly trusting generated results.
- Experience designing scalable data architectures, pipelines, data models, dashboards, analytical frameworks, or automated insight-generation systems.
- Familiarity with cloud-based data platforms and storage.
- Strong analytical decomposition skills and the ability to translate ambiguous business questions into precise analytical problems.
- Strong instinct for data quality, system reliability, and independent verification. You donât simply accept whatever the agent produces.
- Comfortable operating independently, driving technical initiatives from concept to production, and owning outcomes rather than tasks.
- Excellent English communication skills.
- Passion for gaming.
NICE TO HAVE
- Gaming or mobile analytics experience (monetization, attribution, retention, LiveOps, economy).
- Event-driven and streaming data architectures.
- Real-time telemetry or anti-cheat / anomaly-detection systems.
- Published or shared work on agentic workflows - blog posts, OSS subagents/skills, internal tooling youâve open-sourced.
