• Own testing end-to-end — unit tests, data quality checks, reconciliation, and integration tests before anything reaches production.
• Deploy solutions to production and monitor post-deployment health, iterating rapidly based on real-world feedback.

AI-First Data Engineering: 

• Run parallel AI coding sessions (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) across different facets of a pipeline simultaneously — orchestrate, verify, and integrate the outputs.
• Build and maintain context files (CLAUDE.md equivalents) for data projects that encode schema conventions, pipeline patterns, and institutional knowledge — making every future AI session smarter.
• Design verification loops: automated data quality checks, dbt tests, CI hooks, and pipeline monitors that give AI agents concrete feedback on correctness. • Build MCP (Model Context Protocol) or equivalent integrations to connect AI agents directly to Snowflake, Amazon Athena, Postgresql, MySql, Power BI APIs, Salesforce, and internal tooling.
• Prefer frontier models for complex architectural decisions and rely on AI acceleration to dramatically increase engineering throughput.

Data Platform & Pipeline Engineering:

• Design and build complex, reliable data pipelines ingesting from AWS, Azure, Salesforce, MuleSoft, and multiple third-party APIs into our AWS Data Lake and Snowflake warehouse.
• Implement and evolve data models using Kimball methodology to support financial, operational, and clinical analytics.
• Optimize pipeline performance, manage data quality, and perform root-cause analysis on data anomalies — internal and external. • Develop and maintain orchestration workflows in Python, and AWS Glue.
• Continuously evolve the data schema as business and engineering requirements change.

Analytics & Reporting Enablement:

• Build and support Power BI data models and reports; empower analytics team members to self-serve on a reliable data foundation.
• Work with data analysts and data scientists to build reusable, well-documented pipeline components they can extend independently.
• Deliver data products that drive clinical care decisions, financial planning, and operational performance improvements.

Application Development:

• Build lightweight internal data applications and tooling where needed; data entry interfaces, operational dashboards, automation scripts that bridge the gap between data pipelines and end users.
• Design for agentic workflows: build AI-powered data tools accessible via web interfaces or Slack that surface insights proactively.
• Integrate with Salesforce Health Cloud and other platforms using APIs and event-driven patterns.

Security, Governance & Collaboration: 

• Ensure data security and HIPAA compliance in all pipeline and application work. Partner with IT to enforce data governance standards.
• Document decisions, tradeoffs, and architecture clearly so that future engineers (and AI agents) can build on your work effectively.
• Collaborate across IT, finance, clinical operations, and data science — acting as the connective tissue between data infrastructure and business outcomes.

At Rockstar Games, we create world-class entertainment experiences. 

Become part of a team working on some of the most rewarding, large-scale creative projects to be found in any entertainment medium - all within an inclusive, highly-motivated environment where you can learn and collaborate with some of the most talented people in the industry.

Rockstar Games is seeking a Senior Software Engineer in Data Engineering to join a team focused on building a cutting-edge game analytics platform and tools to better understand our players and enhance their experience in our games.   

The ideal candidate will be skilled in developing complex ingestion and transformation processes with an emphasis on reliability and performance. In collaboration with Data Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, and other Software Engineers, the candidate will empower the team of Analysts and Data Scientists to deliver data driven insights and applications to company stakeholders.  

This is a full-time, in-office position based out of Rockstar’s new state-of-the-art game development studio in Carlsbad, CA.

WHAT WE DO

• The Rockstar Games Online Services team builds the technology foundation that powers our games and delivers world-class player experiences.  
• Our Data Engineering group manages petabyte-scale data, integrating dozens of streaming and batch sources with strict requirements for reliability, compliance, and low-latency processing. 
• We approach data engineering with the rigor of software engineering by applying modern practices such as clean architecture, modular design, and automated testing. Our focus is on building scalable, reusable platforms and frameworks that enable our partners in Data Science and Game Development to deliver insights and unlock new possibilities for players. 

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, build, and maintain high-throughput streaming and batch data processing services, with a primary focus on raw and bronze-level ingestion. 
• Develop and operate stream–based applications responsible for real-time data transformation, enrichment, validation, and routing. 
• Own and evolve event schemas and data contracts, including Avro schemas and Schema Registry governance. 
• Ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and performance of streaming and ingestion pipelines under heavy load. 
• Contribute to platform-level concerns such as deployment automation, observability, operational tooling, and CI/CD. 
• Participate in the design and implementation of cloud-native data infrastructure supporting real-time and batch workloads. 

REQUIREMENTS

• 5+ years of professional experience building production software systems, preferably in a distributed or data-intensive environment. 
• Strong experience with Java (and/or Scala) as well as Python, in backend or data processing applications. 
• Experience designing and operating streaming systems using Kafka or Kafka Streams (or similar). 
• Experience working with event-driven architectures, including schema evolution and compatibility. 
• Experience building real-time and/or near-real-time data pipelines at scale. 
• Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts (partitioning, fault tolerance, backpressure, exactly-once/at-least-once semantics). 
• Familiarity with Avro, Protobuf, or similar serialization formats and schema governance practices. 

PLUSES
