Our internationally distributed team consists of top-tier gamedev professionals. We work remotely, and our hubs are located in the Netherlands, Cyprus, Armenia, UAE and Serbia.
Come join a universe of professional opportunities: develop and support large scale projects from PC/console/mobile, and create products across various genres – from casuals to shooters.
What you'll do:
- Drive the evolution of our Data Platform and lead migration to a new on-premise stack
- Build, maintain, and migrate ETL/ELT pipelines from the legacy environment to the new stack
- Work across the full toolchain: Python, SQL, Spark, Airflow, HDFS, Kafka, Trino, Iceberg, and dbt
- Own Airflow as a production orchestration layer — DAGs, deployment, retries, sensors, pools, queues, callbacks/listeners, backfills, and reruns
- Design and implement DataOps practices: monitoring, alerting, SLA/SLO tracking, runbooks, incident diagnostics, and postmortems
- Set up observability across Airflow, Spark, HDFS, Kafka, and other platform components
- Build custom listeners, exporters, checkers, and internal tooling for platform health diagnostics
- Automate recurring team operations: DAG deployment, pipeline migrations, backfill/retry/recovery flows, and pre-release validation
- Advance CI/CD and production-readiness standards for data workflows
- Contribute to Data Governance at the engineering level — ownership, naming conventions, metadata, lineage, access patterns, auditability, and privacy-by-design
- Work with Kubernetes at the application level: updating images, configuring deployments/jobs/cronjobs, migrating services, and managing configs, secrets, and env variables
- Help the team cut down on manual ops, recurring failures, and operational noise
What you need to succeed:
- Hands-on experience as a Data Engineer, Data Platform Engineer, DataOps Engineer, or in a similar role
- Proven track record building and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines
- Strong command of Python and SQL
- Practical experience with Spark or other distributed processing frameworks
- Deep knowledge of Airflow internals: scheduler, workers, executors, DAG lifecycle, retries, sensors, pools, queues, SLAs, logs, alerts, and callbacks/listeners
- Experience running data workflows in production environments
- Ability to set up monitoring, alerting, and dashboards — e.g., Grafana/Prometheus-style observability stacks
- Solid understanding of monitoring Airflow, Spark, HDFS, and Kafka: failures, lag, resource usage, data freshness, completeness, queue time, and scheduler health
- Experience automating engineering processes: scripts, CLIs, internal tools, deployment automation, and validation checks
- Familiarity with DWH, Data Lake, and Lakehouse architectures
- Experience working with legacy pipelines and migrating them to a modern stack
- Kubernetes proficiency at the application level: containers/images, deployments, jobs, cronjobs, configs, secrets, and resource requests/limits
- Ability to drive a technical task end-to-end — from problem scoping to a production-ready solution
- You think beyond implementation: reliability, observability, maintainability, and lifecycle are part of your definition of done
What we offer:
- Work remotely from all around the world
- Collaborative working atmosphere in an internal game dev community that unites more than a dozen of internal game studios, crafting innovative experiences across mobile, PC, and console platforms
- A strong team of specialists across different areas — access unique expertise and professional knowledge
- Possibility to experiment and work on interesting tasks with ambitious goals — we have all resources to implement new ideas
- Create great games and win the hearts of players
- Push the boundaries of the game industry and lead the way forward
