Role
Who you are
- We are looking for someone with proven expertise in data engineering or software engineering, and the humility, curiosity, ambition, and drive to make an impact fast.
- This role is designed for high-potential early-career engineers (< 3 years of experience) with strong quantitative foundations, a pragmatic engineering mindset, and the ambition to grow rapidly into senior technical ownership.
- 1–2 years of experience in data engineering, software engineering, or a closely related role
- Master’s-level education in engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, statistics, or a quantitative field
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Strong proficiency in Python and SQL – ability to write clean, maintainable, production-ready code
- Solid understanding of data modeling, ETL/ELT patterns, and analytics engineering principles
- Familiarity with modern data stacks (cloud data warehouses, orchestration tools; streaming is a plus)
- Initial exposure to distributed systems and production constraints
- Curiosity for, or early hands-on experience with, LLMs, vector databases, and AI-driven systems
- Pragmatic and impact-driven: focused on shipping useful, reliable systems
- Versatile: comfortable operating across platforms, pipelines, and product use cases
- Ambitious and high-potential: seeks responsibility, feedback, and rapid progression
- Comfortable in a scale-up environment with evolving processes and high expectations
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate in cross-functional teams
- Even if you don’t check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply
What the job involves
- As a Data Engineer, you’ll play a key role in building and scaling Homa’s data platform and data-powered products.
- You will report directly to the Head of Game Tech and partner closely with analysts, data scientists, and web/mobile engineers to drive reliable, scalable data systems that power product features, decision-making, and GenAI use cases, and contribute to shaping how Homa grows from here
- Design, build, and operate scalable, production-grade data pipelines (ingestion, transformation, orchestration)
- Contribute to the evolution of our data platform (storage, compute, data quality, observability, cost control)
- Take part in architectural discussions with a strong focus on reliability, simplicity, and long-term maintainability
- Work closely with analysts, data scientists, and application engineers to deliver end-to-end data products
- Build well-modeled datasets and interfaces that directly support business and product features
- Balance speed of delivery with robust engineering standards
- Build and maintain data pipelines feeding LLM-based systems (e.g. retrieval, embeddings, vector stores)
- Contribute to the productionization of GenAI workflows (RAG pipelines, agent orchestration, evaluation, and monitoring)
- Help bridge the gap between experimental AI use cases and reliable, scalable systems
- This is a great opportunity to work on core infrastructure, gain hands-on experience with modern data stacks and GenAI systems in production, and grow rapidly into strong technical ownership
Our take
Mobile gaming continues to grow in popularity, and more and more big companies and franchises are publishing their offerings for download, but this has made it extremely hard for small games, with small teams, to stand out. Homa Games builds tools for developers to build successful mobile games, including publishing and monetising their products.
Homa Games is the world’s leading platform for mobile game creation and publishing and is one of the companies driving the industry towards a data-driven and systematic approach. The company helps developers build faster, with testing tools; create more popular games through market intelligence; and remove financial risk by offering smart in-app advertisements and distribution management.
Since 2018, Homa Games has attracted one billion downloads for its published games. The company has raised an impressive level of funding that will be used to improve its tech stack and expand into web3 and NFTs, and it has acquired and partnered with other technologies towards this next goal. Ultimately, Homa Games wants to build a universe of interconnected games with virtual worlds and characters owned by creators and players, an ambitious task that it will be interesting to see if they can achieve.
