Back End Engineer

As a Backend Engineer in the data team at Embark you will be a gamemaker in a small team focused on building the data and telemetry pipeline, all the way from the tracking calls inside the game to actionable analysis for the game teams.

The data team at Embark is a small team focused on making sure we have data and analysis supporting game design and development, as well as a data model and reports to serve the rest of the business. You’ll be an integral part of a highly creative game team and together you’ll create and improve the high-quality, polished experiences we want to provide our players. As our game is distributed between game client, game server and in 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 create games and keep them running.

Some of the technologies we use to make all of those things are Go, Rust, Java, Python, GCP, Bazel, Terraform, Kubernetes, Dataflow, Bigquery. As a backend engineer, your focus is to make sure our services not only work well, but also that they are easy to maintain, extend and deploy.
