Uken builds games that people everywhere love. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? and Jeopardy! World Tour are the top 2 trivia games, engaging millions of global players every month. In 2020, Uken released Ava’s Manor, a solitaire game where users renovate and decorate the manor while discovering mysterious clues and dabbling in a romantic love story. Uken’s foray into narrative games is an exciting opportunity for the company.
We consider our Ukenites to be data-driven designers, technologists, and artists. Through collaboration, we pair the craft of design with feedback and data to deliver a pace and rhythm in each game session that immerses our audience and engages them for years. We have a quirky, nerdy culture that fosters creativity, collaboration, quality ideas, innovation, and a data-driven mindset. We believe in moving quickly and improving constantly and that mantra is reflected in the weekly updates we make to our games and internal technologies. We have an appetite for pushing technical boundaries but with a focus on practical use.
We maintain our presence within the tech community by running and hosting numerous technical events and meetups. Our commitment to Engineering and Technology is also seen in our service-oriented architecture with well-modularized responsibilities that allow us to build, maintain and scale our applications. We use both blocking and asynchronous non-blocking programming models when advantageous to do so. Our dozens of game services are built to scale beyond a million DAU while maintaining an average of single-digit millisecond response times. We use a diverse set of both NoSQL and traditional relational databases (e.g.: Aurora, Cassandra, Redis, Redshift), modern JVM (Java and Scala) frameworks, and programming methods. We have a deep understanding of the AWS cloud where we've been running all our infrastructure for almost a decade.
At Uken, we believe that understanding data is a fundamental skill and when leveraged well, it can be used to elevate even the best-designed products. This is why we’re thrilled to be adding a Senior Business Intelligence Manager to our Platform team.

- Ability to negotiate and articulate your point of view with stakeholders and consumers of Data to push difficult changes through the Data Org that drive improvements for the business.
