• Report on how game performance has changed over time and work closely with our observability team to unify real-time and historic data
• Collaborate closely with Epic’s performance teams to enable them to centralize and scale their analytics stack

What we're looking for

• Strong understanding of technical aspects of client and server systems and how to utilize high frequency (frame-by-frame) data to report on these systems
• Experience writing efficient and scalable queries over billions of rows in a distributed computing environment with PySpark; it is a plus if you’re comfortable in streaming
• Development experience in Python analytics ecosystem
• Thoughtful conceptual data modeling and data architecture practices
• Experience working with development teams to instrument data and ensure continued data quality
• Familiarity with supporting operational processes including code version control (Github or similar) and orchestration (Airflow)
