Data Engineer

At Baazi Games, we collaborate in an environment that offers a surplus of freedom to think out of- the the-box and take ownership of opportunities. Just like our games, we are bold and out there in our thinking. Be it boardroom meetings, coffee breaks with colleagues or a game at the TT table, partnership and teamwork are always by our side. For us, there are no Monday blues or fantastic Fridays. Each day at Baazi Games, we welcome an enthusiastic team that is turbocharged for high performance. We are constantly in power-up mode and chase our goals untamed and unabashed.

We started our journey with the sole purpose of giving our audience a sports experience that is world-class in every sense. Everything since then has been about our users. Their needs and expectations sit at the centre of our thoughts and actions.
