• Work with machine learning and data science teams to design and operationalize models for player behavior prediction, personalization, content generation, and monetization optimization.
• Champion internal tooling and operational excellence—from CI/CD pipelines and build systems to live-ops dashboards, monitoring/observability, and developer productivity tools.
• Collaborate deeply with product, design, art, engineering, operations, marketing, and business teams to align on goals, metrics, and delivery.
• Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, contribute to hiring and growth programs, and help build a strong, scalable engineering culture with high standards.

• Excellent leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and translate technical strategy to non-technical audiences.
• Strong strategic and product mindset—able to evaluate trade-offs, prioritize effectively, and drive impact at scale.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment, leading teams through growth and change.

You might also have

• Experience with backend services for live or multiplayer games, cloud infrastructure, and data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery).
• Experience with real-time analytics, A/B testing frameworks, or experimentation platforms.
• Hands-on experience applying machine learning or data science in games (player modeling, recommendations, personalization, content generation).
