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
