About the role

  • Our data infrastructure needs to be built, from scratch.
  • We're migrating off a custom in-house pipeline that can't keep up with our growth, and the decisions made now will shape how product, growth, and ML operate for years.
  • You'll sit in engineering, report to the CTO, and work directly with the co-founders.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain scalable pipelines for high-volume user and game event data across ingestion, transformation, and serving
  • Design the data models and warehouse structure that product, growth, and future ML systems depend on
  • Write and optimize SQL queries - profiling, tuning, and setting the performance standard
  • Own data quality from day one: monitoring, alerting, and anomaly detection
  • Build toward a self-serve analytics layer that non-engineers can trust and use independently
  • Have 4-7 years of data engineering experience, including at least one 0→1 build or major pipeline rebuild
  • Have enough analytical range to serve product and growth teams directly, not just build pipes they can't use
  • Join us to help build the future of interactive entertainment.

Requirements

  • Experience with high-volume event data from consumer, social, or UGC platforms
  • Experience with dbt, Airflow, or Dagster
  • Understand latency tradeoffs - you know when milliseconds matter and when daily batches are fine

Compensation

  • Competitive base salary plus equity

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary plus equity
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage
