Our Story

At Wooga, we are very proud of the diverse, creative and friendly environment we have established and we believe you will enjoy working with some of the best people in the industry. Each of our Woogas plays an important role in our success as a company and in shaping our culture. We really value our razor-sharp focus on story-driven casual games, excellent craftsmanship, truly collaborative way of working, and the values we strive to live up to every day. We create joyful experiences that awaken our players’ desire to see what happens next. Based in the heart of Berlin, with over 300 employees from around the world, we work together to create high-quality casual games with engaging stories at the core of the experience.

We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to help us evolve our data pipeline and to challenge the team to find even better solutions.

As a Senior Data Engineer you will be an essential part of our Data team, inspiring and sharing your expertise with your colleagues. Our Data Engineering team is responsible for providing the data infrastructure, services and tools we use to analyze, improve and personalize our games which are enjoyed by millions of players every month. The team is processing terabytes of data and enables number-driven business decisions within the company in all areas.

 

As a team member you will:

  • You will keep our data infrastructure up and running while modernizing it
  • Improve and maintain tooling that makes our game analysts and data scientists’ lives easier
  • Build software that help our marketing teams to integrate and analyze data from various source
  • Take part in our team on-call rotation (after an extensive onboarding period)

 

About you 

  • You are an experienced (data) engineer using Scala, Java or Python (7+ years)
  • You have deep knowledge of working with Kubernetes, also managing a cluster.
  • You are used to work with cloud providers, in best case you know AWS
  • You have experience working with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow)
  • You have experience with DevOps and Infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker, Github - CI/CD pipelines, Terraform)
  • You are familiar with Kafka
  • You are a team player and value collaboration.
  • You are up to date with the latest technologies in Data Engineering.

Great if you know:

  • SQL. You can help analysts to make their queries faster.
  • Jupyter notebooks, that’s what our data scientists use day in, day out
  • The basics of data security and data protection

Please note: Research has shown that some under-represented groups in the gaming industry (eg: women) tend to apply only if they meet every single requirement. Here at Wooga, the desire to learn and the willingness to solve problems are more important to us than your experience on paper. We encourage you to apply even if you do not think that you tick all the boxes - thinking outside of such boxes and embracing the diversity of mindsets and backgrounds is what we believe makes our teams thrive.

 

Our Promise    

  • Shape the future! Challenge the status quo and team up with a diverse group of experts (over 57 nationalities!) working on crafting the world’s best games.
  • We offer a generous relocation package and home search support if you are not already located in Berlin. Did we mention that we also cooperate with Kindergartens?

  • Enjoy the yoga, mindfulness app, sports and transport subsidies. And a Purpose Day to donate your time to a worthy cause!
  • Did you know that German is the third most commonly taught language worldwide? Learn it too! We offer German language classes for you and your significant other.
  • With our hybrid work model you will work in the office with your teams twice a week, to encourage in-person collaboration and team bonding The other three days you can choose if you want to work from home or from the office. We also offer 10 days a year to work from abroad. We got your back!
