  • Provide proactive solutions: Identify potential roadblocks and proactively offer solutions to optimize client's use of the Pragma Platform and their overall game development process.

  • Conduct technical workshops and training: Deliver customized training sessions to educate clients on the features and functionalities of the Pragma Platform and any custom solutions developed.

  • Champion client needs: Advocate for client needs within Pragma by gathering and sharing feedback, contributing to the product roadmap, and driving continuous improvement.

  • Contribute to knowledge sharing: Document best practices, create technical resources, and contribute to internal knowledge bases to empower both clients and colleagues.

Qualifications

  • Strong game development expertise: Proven experience in software development, with expertise in backend technologies (e.g., cloud platforms, databases, APIs) and a solid understanding of game client development (e.g., game engines like Unreal Engine or Unity, gameplay programming, UI development).

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills: Ability to clearly explain complex technical concepts to diverse audiences. Exceptional interpersonal skills to build rapport and foster collaborative relationships.

  • Passion for problem-solving: Proactive and solution-oriented, with a passion for identifying and overcoming challenges. Ability to anticipate client needs and deliver tailored solutions.

  • Customer-centric approach: Genuine desire to understand and exceed client expectations by providing exceptional support and solutions.

  • Adaptability and flexibility: Ability to thrive in a dynamic environment and adjust to evolving client needs and project requirements.
