Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Embark Studios Full time

As a Data Backend Engineer in the data team at Embark you will be a game maker focused on building tools needed to support the creation of the most fun, balanced and engaging games possible.

The data team at Embark is focused on making sure that game design and development have a data model and reporting system that provide the necessary data and analysis to serve every aspect of the business. As our game is distributed between game client, game server and the cloud, you'll work together with your team to figure out which parts of the problem to solve in which location. At Embark, we believe in creating smaller teams of well-aligned experts that can be trusted to keep thing running smoothly while exploring innovative solutions.

Some of the technologies we currently use are Python, Go, GCP, Bazel, Terraform, Unreal and BigQuery. As a data backend engineer, your focus is to build services and tools that not only work well, but are also easy to maintain, extend and deploy.

Example Of Responsibilities

  • Build new and optimize existing data pipeline.
  • Instrument backend services to collect data for new game features.
  • Build and maintain internal tools that present the gathered data back to game designers. This often means creating a dashboard using our custom dashboard framework, but we also have more bespoke tools such as a map viewer that allows replaying any match that has happened in the game
  • Continuously improve our engineering practices and automate existing workflows to make sure our services are easy to deploy, scale and maintain.
  • Collaborate closely with other teams to build solutions that the players (and fellow game makers) love.
  • Improve and innovate on our telemetry and analytics pipeline with a focus on the backend services and applications.

We would love if you have

  • A creative and curious mind.
  • A passion for interactive experiences, games and new technologies.
  • Experience working with DuckDB and BigQuery or other columnar databases with large data volumes.
  • A solid understanding about distributed systems and experience building them on a cloud infrastructure.
  • A good grasp of performance, optimization and observability.
  • Experience with some of the technologies we use such as Python, Go and GCP.
  • The ability to be a great team player with good communication skills.
  • Professional English communication skills.

At Embark we offer competitive salaries, passionate colleagues to share knowledge with and much more, but most of all we invite you to take part of a journey into the unknown, to build creative, surprising and beautiful experiences together.

We welcome game makers of all sex, class, colour, age, gender identity, education, religion, opinion, culture, nation of origin, language, sexual orientation, shape, size, and ability.

Did we leave anyone out? Well, we welcome you, too We think that the gaming industry is made better when everyone has a seat at the table.

Be yourself at Embark and make games while doing so. Please apply with confidence. We can't wait to hear from you (in English)
