Data Engineer (Analytics), Hay Day

You know the feeling when you’ve beaten your personal high score? Working in Analytics at Supercell is like having those moments everyday. And better yet, making the best gameplay decision is a perfect blend of intuition and data.

As a Data Engineer in Hay Day, you will own the data landscape for the team, from defining what to collect, how to ensure the quality of it, and how to build the data products that deliver the best results to your fellow team members, including analysts, game designers, QA, live operations managers and anyone who wants to augment their intuition with hard facts.

We are working towards being hypothesis driven and for that - we need your skills to help us build our data and tooling to be ready to continuously improve our service. Picture yourself leveling up our tooling to legendary status of the highest of echelons. Rock solid and modern, others would say. Continuously raising the bar is your choice of approach.

You won’t be playing a follow-the-script type of a game with us. You are the forward-thinking, data-loving problem solver type who is seasoned to spot opportunities even when they're in stealth mode. 

You’ll be joining a company where thoughtfulness, quality and focus are kept in high regard. We are passionate about not compromising on quality and choosing a long term approach to make Supercell a truly global games company that will last for many decades to come.

You Are Not Your Job Title
Working with us means you won’t need to focus on chasing titles or climbing ladders. We’ve decided that our internal job titles don’t include prefixes like senior, junior, principal, or director. Instead, we embrace our non-hierarchical culture, allowing us to concentrate on what truly matters: doing what’s best for our players. Recognition isn’t tied to your job title, nor does your title define the impact you can have.
For hiring purposes, we do use industry-standard job titles to help attract talent. When it comes to public-facing spaces like LinkedIn, we trust and encourage everyone to select a title that feels most appropriate for them. Read More
