About the Position

Senior AI Data & Analytics Engineer

We're seeking a Senior AI Data & Analytics Engineer to join our team in Hamburg, Germany, and work fully remote, building scalable data architectures and AI-driven analytics tools.

Responsibilities

Build the Data Foundation

• Design and operate the end-to-end gameplay analytics ecosystem.
• Define tracking, storage, processing, and reporting architecture.
• Own data correctness and make judgement calls when quality checks flag anomalies.

Drive AI-Native Analytics

• 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.
• Strong experience working with behavioral, transactional, or event-based datasets and deriving actionable insights from complex data.
• Strong Python and SQL skills.
• 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.
• 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.

We Offer

• Fully remote work from Hamburg, Germany.
• Opportunity to work on a brand-new mobile game.
• Be part of a leading data-driven game development company.
