Job Description:

Blizzard Entertainment games don’t just begin with game ideas, or end once those games are released. A lot more goes into the creation of a Blizzard product than the work of developers—and we support our games for years after they’re in the hands of gamers world-wide.

Blizzard Entertainment is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Global Insights team to help shape the next generation of personalized player experiences. We are developing data-driven services to provide engaging experiences to our players.

Covid-19 Hiring Update: We’ve transitioned to a work-from-home model and we’re continuing to interview and hire during this time. This role is expected to begin as a remote position. We understand each person’s circumstances may be unique and will work with you to explore possible interim options.

Responsibilities

• Work with a team of engineers to build large scale data services and features.
• Debug issues in a production environment across multiple levels of the stack.
• Communicate effectively with the team and stakeholders.
• Promote a positive engineering and team culture.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years’ experience building back-end data services, API's, or Microservices in production.
• Strong track record leading and releasing large software projects or features
• Fluent in Java, with solid recent experience (Java 8 preferably)
• Solid knowledge of various relational databases and knowledge of SQL
• Experience with the Hadoop ecosystem (HDFS, Map Reduce, Pig, Hive, etc.)
