The Anti-Cheat team comprises a set of disparate but complementary disciplines, including game security development, internal tooling, backend- and data engineering, and data analytics/machine learning. Most of us work across more than one of these domains. Being a core function supporting all of Embark games, we collaborate with many different stakeholders throughout the organisation, such as game teams, legal and community management.
As a Data Scientist/Data Engineer in the Anti-Cheat team at Embark Studios you will be part of a small, cross-functional team with a mission to keep Embark games fair and safe from cheating and exploiting. In this role you will use your skills and experience to prevent and detect malicious and cheating behavior, as well as strategically driving our efforts for using data to become smarter and better within the anti-cheat function.
You’ll be working closely with other data scientists and data engineers within Embark to continuously improve our data foundation, and on top of that assess telemetry and work together with game-, backend-, and ML teams.
You are likely curious to learn new skills, and enjoy working autonomously and taking initiatives while also collaborating within and across teams. Your passion for data, technology and games is what is driving you to great success. By being creative and experimental you aim to solve problems in a game-changing way.
Example Of Responsibilities
We welcome game makers of all sex, class, colour, age, gender identity, education, religion, opinion, culture, nation of origin, language, sexual orientation, shape, size, and ability.
Did we leave anyone out? Well, we welcome you, too! We think that the gaming industry is made better when everyone has a seat at the table.
Be yourself at Embark and make games while doing so. Please apply with confidence. We can’t wait to hear from you (in English)!
