Goodgame Studios develops data-driven games, including live-service strategy titles, and self-publishes its games in-house. The studio is based in Hamburg, Germany, and is part of Stillfront Group, a game publisher focused on long-term IP growth.

• Design and operate the end-to-end gameplay analytics ecosystem
• Define tracking, storage, processing, and reporting architecture
• Own data correctness and make judgment calls when quality checks flag anomalies
• Build a semantic layer that translates raw gameplay data into validated gameplay and business concepts
• Develop AI-driven automated reporting, dashboards, and insight-generation workflows
• Evaluate and implement AI tools, agents, and workflows to improve analytics speed, reliability, and depth
• Review AI-generated code and analytics on critical paths before they reach production
• Identify opportunities, risks, anomalies, and trends across gameplay and player behavior
• Support product, balancing, design, and leadership teams with data-driven recommendations
• Translate complex datasets into clear, actionable insights
• Help define how the wider engineering organization adopts agentic practices
• Establish standards for tooling, review processes, quality gates, and what “done” means when agents generate most of the implementation

• Several years of experience building analytics or data-driven systems in production environments
• Deep familiarity with LLMs, agents, and AI-assisted engineering workflows in production
• Hands-on experience using agentic workflows and AI coding tools in real-world projects
• Ability to explain how you structure prompts and context; manage autonomous and multi-agent workflows, including when to intervene; use MCP servers, custom tools, skills, or subagents; and review AI-generated code and queries without becoming a bottleneck
• Strong experience with behavioral, transactional, or event-based datasets and deriving actionable insights from complex data
• Strong Python and SQL skills; able to read and own code you did not write and independently verify outputs
• Experience designing scalable data architectures, pipelines, data models, dashboards, analytical frameworks, or automated insight-generation systems
• Familiarity with cloud-based data platforms and storage
• Strong analytical decomposition skills and ability to translate ambiguous business questions into precise analytical problems
• Strong instincts for data quality, system reliability, and independent verification
• Comfortable working independently, driving technical initiatives from concept to production, and owning outcomes
• Excellent English communication skills
• Passion for gaming
• Будет плюсом: gaming or mobile analytics experience (monetization, attribution, retention, LiveOps, economy), event-driven and streaming data architectures, real-time telemetry or anti-cheat/anomaly-detection systems, published or shared work on agentic workflows (blog posts, OSS subagents/skills, or open-sourced internal tooling)

• Applications are welcome from international candidates
