Data Engineer

Homa is a global mobile game developer and publisher creating games people love. We partner with studios and internally develop games, having launched over 80 titles, reached over 2 billion downloads, and seen our game All in Hole break into the global top-50 grossing charts. These are milestones, not the finish line.

With deep expertise in product and technology, we built Homa Lab, our proprietary platform that gives developers the market intelligence, data tools, and game tech, with AI built-in, to find product-market fit fast and scale mass-market games into lasting experiences players enjoy for years.

This is our flywheel: Homa Lab helps studios spot the right ideas early, turn them into games quickly, and reach millions of players. Every launch brings back data and insights that fuel the next hit, making each turn of the loop faster, smarter, and more likely to win. AI supercharges this process, running through everything we do, from everyday tasks to our guiding principles.

What powers the loop is talent density. 220+ people from 30+ nationalities, bringing expertise from the world's best studios and companies. We uphold ambition, curiosity, humility, and focus, and deliver with speed, excellence, and candor.

Since the start, we've raised $165M from Headline, Northzone, Eurazeo, Bpifrance, and the founders of King, Sorare, and Spotify, people who've built and backed the games and platforms we admire, now supporting our drive to create the next ones.

At Homa, we are building the next billion-player experiences from the ground up and shaping the future of entertainment.

Mission

As a Data Engineer, you'll play a key role in building and scaling Homa's data platform and the data-powered products that drive our business. You'll work across infrastructure, pipelines, and applications : shipping reliable data systems and directly contributing to AI-native tools used across the company.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Own and evolve the data platform: build, maintain, and optimize the tools and infrastructure that every data person at Homa depends on daily
• Build connectors, pipelines, and data assets: fetch, transform, and model data to deliver clean, reliable datasets that power product and business decisions
• Deliver end-to-end data products: turn datasets into real solutions: market intelligence tools, product analytics, A/B testing pipelines, and more
• Contribute to GenAI and LLM-powered systems: build and maintain data pipelines feeding our AI-native products, including agentic BI and self-service data experiences
• Enable data access across the company: partner with analysts, data scientists, and product teams to make data faster, simpler, and more impactful to use

This is a great opportunity to take on versatile ownership across platform and product, get hands-on with GenAI systems in production, and grow rapidly into strong technical responsibility, all inside one of the most data-centric companies in gaming.

Requirements

We are looking for someone with strong quantitative foundations and early technical experience in data or software engineering, and the humility, curiosity, ambition, and drive to make an impact fast. You're a great fit if you have:

• Strong Python proficiency: you write clean, working code autonomously and take pride in the quality of what you ship
• Solid SQL skills: you're comfortable querying, transforming, and modeling data in a production environment
• Sharp analytical and problem-solving mindset: you structure problems clearly, dig into root causes, and follow through on solutions
• Experience in a startup or scale-up environment: you've worked where speed and ownership matter, and you've interacted directly with data to drive results
• Strong academic foundation: a degree in engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, statistics, or a quantitative field

Bonus points if you have:

• Exposure to modern data stacks (orchestration tools, cloud data warehouses, ETL/ELT patterns)
• Curiosity for or hands-on experience with LLMs, vector databases, or AI-driven systems
• Experience in the gaming industry

Even if you don't check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we're more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.

Our Culture

At Homa, we prioritize talent, energy, and determination over traditional credentials. We're building a global community of brilliant, driven people who think boldly, act with pragmatism, move fast, and push boundaries. We believe true innovation comes from diverse perspectives, deep collaboration, and curiosity without limits. Our culture is grounded in four core values:

• Humility: We recognise that we are always learning, we can always improve and grow - we stay grounded in a clear view of ourselves
• Curiosity: We continuously seek the "why" behind the "what" - we explore with purpose and practicality
• Focus: Our curiosity takes us deeper, not wider - we obsess over the details and let pragmatism guide our attention
• Ambition: We strive for the best - we don't settle for "good enough," - we use common sense to reach higher
