Company mission
To further the esports ecosystem by offering players of all levels the chance to compete in a competitive environment with the games they love.
Role
Who you are
- You know SQL like the back of your hand, you’ve used dbt for years and you have a strong understanding of database design principles (star/snowflake schemas, data vault, normal forms)
- You understand the importance of Visual Language and the critical role of storytelling through dashboards. You’re not about just placing metrics on a webpage
- You’re able to see the patterns and trends in data; you know what story it tells, and you know how to what will drive the business forward
- You have consistently delivered analytical solutions across cloud solutions in an agile software development environment. Snowflake experience is a positive, dbt knowledge is even better and you love designing ERDs as much as we do
- You are an excellent communicator who loves explaining important insights in simple terms
- Gathering requirements is natural for you and people just want to get you involved to help fix their problems
- You like to have a good time while getting things done. When we say a “team player” we mean it - you have a crisp high-five and funny stories to tell. You have your team’s back, and the team has yours
- You’re comfortable helping non-data people interpret data and passing on your skills so they can improve their data literacy
- You love learning new things: You know that there’s always more to learn. You’re up-to-date on new trends in data – you know who’s using what to solve various problems and are excited for the next release of your favorite tool
- Past experience in the Esports/Gaming/Betting/Events industry would be a great asset
- You make the time to cheer and enjoy the ride
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an accomplished Data Analyst who knows that the true mark of intelligence and experience is kindness, and the responsibility to use it to level up everyone around you
- We’re looking for an analyst who loves writing SQL, is happy rolling their sleeves up to write code to organize well modeled data, but who also knows how to communicate and visualize meaningful data insights
- You’ll be joining an Insights Analytics team whose mission is to increase and simplify access to meaningful data and improve every decision we make at EFG
- This is a unique opportunity to help level-up the capability of our team to create valuable insight by increasing the speed, accuracy and availability of useful data
- Ask all the whys, relentlessly until you know your customer needs inside-out and know you’re designing the right solution to solve their problems and not the other way around
- Proactively, continuously, think forward and lead your business partners to the right decisions to meet our wider organization goals
- Work with our business users to encapsulate business logic in our data warehouse through your understanding of dimensional modeling and analytics database design techniques
- Set high standards across documentation, data quality and code. Enforce these standards by holding your team accountable
- Drive towards efficiency and look for ways to simplify and improve how we work
- Create data products that meet our business needs. Use data to tell stories about our business that get results
- Set high standards of delivery quality, speed and effective stakeholder management and communication
- Inspire, teach and guide your fellow team members. Form best practices and take the time to explain your thought process
- Exemplify the values we live by. Know and care for the people in your team
- Help inspire, develop, and guide your team members to be the best that they can be
- Be the heart-first, people-first team member everyone wants to be around, because you have invested in building relationships
Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Young people are increasingly turning away from traditional media, and gaming has in recent years become a professional spectator sport that draws huge online crowds. FACEIT is a competitive gaming platform that allows developers to run their own online tournaments, providing ranking charts, skill-based matchmaking and anti-cheat software to ensure that these events are as fair as any traditional sporting competition.
The esports market is projected to be worth about £4.5 billion globally by 2030, and FACEIT has attracted large scale investments as it continues to innovate in this market. Not all of its moves have panned out - for instance its foray into crypto gaming in 2022 could have come at a better time, but its pivot to non-intrusive in-game advertising has been well received by developers and is a testament to the adaptability of the company.
FACEIT is continuing to release and support new gaming products, for instance a car racing tournament released in colloboration with RENNSPORT, where established esports teams and car manufacturers will compete for a prize pool of €500,000. An Overwatch tournament launched in 2024 with a cash prize pool of $170,000. As the esports market shows no sign of slowing down, FACEIT will remain in a strong position to grow alongside it.
