Mid Level Gameplay Engineer information

What is a mid level gameplay engineer?

Mid Level Gameplay Engineers are software developers who work on the core interactive elements of video games. They typically have several years of experience and are responsible for implementing game mechanics, player controls, AI behaviors, and other gameplay features. These engineers collaborate closely with designers and artists to ensure that gameplay systems are engaging and function as intended. They also help optimize code for performance and may mentor junior engineers on best practices.

What are some common challenges faced by mid level gameplay engineers when integrating new features into existing game systems?

Mid level gameplay engineers often encounter challenges such as ensuring new features are compatible with established codebases, maintaining performance optimization, and avoiding unintended side effects in existing gameplay mechanics. Collaboration with designers and QA testers is essential to clarify requirements and rapidly iterate on features. The role often requires balancing creative problem-solving with adherence to technical constraints, as well as clear communication to align the engineering work with the project's overall vision.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a mid level gameplay engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Mid Level Gameplay Engineer, you need a solid background in computer science, experience with game engines (such as Unity or Unreal), and proficiency in programming languages like C++ or C#. Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git), debugging tools, and sometimes certifications in game development platforms are typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication help you collaborate with designers and other engineers and adapt to evolving project needs. These skills are crucial for efficiently creating engaging gameplay features and ensuring technical excellence in fast-paced development environments.

Job description

Description:

Join the Fun at Arrow International!

Arrow International is the world’s #1 maker of charitable gaming products, from pull tabs and bingo paper to cutting-edge electronic gaming systems. Our products power entertainment in social and gaming venues around the globe, and we’re growing fast!


We're building a winning culture that’s all about teamwork, passion, and innovation. At Arrow, you’re not just another employee, you’re part of a high-performing team that’s redefining fun and giving back to communities. We believe in rewarding your hard work with profit-sharing, 401(k) matching, great benefits, and paid time off, including a bonus week every July!


If you're looking for a career that’s exciting, meaningful, and full of opportunity, Arrow is the place to be. 


Position Summary

We are looking for a Game Analytics Engineer for our Las Vegas studio to deepen how we analyze game math and combine it with live game data to make higher-performing games, faster. This role brings rigorous analysis to the math work of the game design team, using both the math behind a game and how it performs in market to sharpen design decisions and shorten the path from concept to a strong game. 


The role works closely with the Head of Game Design, the Math Director, and the game design leads. The work is shared with the Chicago and Pune studios. It is a hands-on analysis role that builds its own tools, not a machine-learning or research role. AI-assisted development is central to how the role builds. 


Primary Roles and Responsibilities

  • Analyze game math and simulation results to understand what makes a game perform, and feed that back into design 
  • Combine the math view of a game with live performance and player-session data to guide design decisions and bring more success 
  • Own the quality of the data behind the analysis, keeping that data clean and trustworthy 
  • Define and maintain the metrics that determine how a game is performing, so design decisions and live results are measured against the same standard 
  • Turn analysis into clear, actionable recommendations, and present findings so the design team and leads can act on them 
  • Build and improve the tools and simulations that support this analysis, using AI coding tools to prototype, iterate, and ship quickly 
  • Keep the tools and the analysis behind them documented and reliable enough for the team to depend on day to day 
  • Work closely with the Senior Producer, Game Design, to develop a roadmap and track progress 
Requirements:

Experience and Education

  • Strong data analysis skills, with a track record of building internal tools and keeping them maintainable 
  • Fluent, demonstrable use of AI coding tools to produce robust, maintainable code, and able to read and check what they generate 
  • Strong understanding of math, probability, and statistical analysis 
  • Highly detail oriented, proactive, and adaptable, with strong problem-solving skills  
  • 3+ years in a data analysis, analytics, or technical role that included building working tools; we are open to more experienced candidates, with the level set to match 
  • Strong analytical skills matter more than any one language; familiarity with Python, C#, or JavaScript is helpful, along with data formats such as JSON 
  • College degree or equivalent 
  • Experience in gaming, casino, lottery, slots, or eTab products, with familiarity with game math (preferred) 
  • Awareness of working in a regulated environment (preferred) 

Why Join 

  • Your work supports community organizations that raise more than $1.5 billion for charity each year 
  • Broad ownership: you define the metrics, own the data, and build the tools the team relies on 
  • A clear path to progress to Senior and then Lead as the scope grows 
  • A small, AI-forward team where you can shape how the work gets done
