What You Will do:
  • Turn strategic business goals into clear telemetry specs and frameworks designed for seamless implementation by the development team.
  • Define and enforce data standards, naming conventions, and data contracts to keep data consistent across all our games and prevent technical debt.
  • Work closely with studio developers to clearly define data warehouse requirements and ensure smooth implementation.

  • Proficient in Advanced SQL and working with platforms like Snowflake and Databricks.
  • Experience handling data contracts, GDPR compliance, and PII.
  • Ability to write clear telemetry specs and translate complex technical concepts for engineering, product, and business teams.
  • An autonomous self-starter who can dive deep into complex technical issues without losing sight of the big picture.
Bonus Points:
  • Experience directly instrumenting telemetry with game studio partners.
  • Hands-on experience with game engines (especially Unreal) and C++.
