Artificial Intelligence Video Game Development Python (Programming Language) Mobile Analytics Standard Sql Data Streaming Cloud Platform System Large Language Models Reliability of Systems

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 “done” 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 don’t 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 you’ve open-sourced.
