Data Engineer

Brief Description:
At PLAYSTUDIOS, data is not a support function - it is at the core of how our games are built, scaled, and optimized. Our Data Engineering team plays a critical role in shaping the infrastructure and pipelines that power decision-making across our mobile gaming ecosystem, from gameplay mechanics and monetization to live operations and growth.
We are looking for a Data Engineer who thrives in complex, high-scale environments and enjoys building reliable, efficient data foundations. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, analytics, and business impact – owning data flows end-to-end and enabling teams to trust, explore, and act on data with confidence.

As a Data Engineer at PLAYSTUDIOS, you will take ownership of data pipelines, infrastructure, and core metrics that support both real-time and analytical use cases.
Specifically, you will:
• Design, build, and maintain scalable and reliable data pipelines across multiple data sources
• Own data flows from ingestion to storage, ensuring data quality, consistency, and availability
• Collaborate closely with Data Scientists, Product Managers, and Business teams to support analytics and experimentation
• Develop and optimize SQL-based data models to support reporting, dashboards, and advanced analysis
• Analyze complex datasets to help answer high-impact business and product questions
Requirements

• At least 1 year of hands-on experience with Python (industry, studies or military background)
• 2+ years of experience writing complex and optimized SQL queries
• Experience designing and working with data lakes and data warehouses
• Familiarity with AWS technologies such as EMR, EC2, S3, and related services
• Knowledge of visualization tools like Tableau, Mode Analytics, and Looker
• Ability to communicate technical concepts and findings in clear, accessible language
• Experience with Airflow - advantage
• Strong problem-solving mindset with curiosity and attention to detail
• Passion for mobile games and a truly data-driven approach
• Good command of written and spoken English

This is a hybrid role based in our Tel Aviv office, with three on-site workdays per week.
