About the role

  • Director of Data Products overseeing scalable data platforms and AI enablement at Jagex. Leading data engineering initiatives and team collaboration with a focus on analytics and integrity.

Responsibilities

  • Design and evolve Jagex’s analytical data platform to support scale, reliability and extensibility across games, subscriptions and commercial models
  • Transform raw operational data into trusted, well-documented, accessible data products used across the company
  • Embed “data-by-design” principles across technology and product teams to solve issues at source
  • Evaluate technologies and vendors to ensure scalable, cost-effective platform decisions
  • Partner closely with BI and Data Science teams to ensure efficient transformation for dashboards and models
  • Integrate the analytical platform into wider tech transformations across martech, fintech and game tech
  • Lead DataOps initiatives to improve quality, reliability, observability and process robustness
  • Champion governance, privacy and security best practices across the organisation
  • Represent Data & Insights in governance forums and ensure regulatory compliance
  • Drive a culture where data accuracy, completeness and timeliness are non-negotiable
  • Evolve Data Engineering from operational processing to strategic enablement of decision-making
  • Build the foundations for AI/ML at scale - feature stores, model repositories, deployment frameworks and ML Ops governance
  • Support productionisation of AI and machine learning initiatives across the business
  • Lead implementation of real-time anti-cheat and fraud detection systems to protect game integrity
  • Balance transformation delivery with business-critical operational requirements
  • Mentor and develop engineers and cross-functional teams, fostering best-in-class technical practices

Requirements

  • Deep experience in modern data engineering (ETL/ELT, pipelines, real-time streaming)
  • Strong DataOps expertise (monitoring, quality metrics, remediation across source systems)
  • Experience productionising AI/ML solutions at scale
  • Platform and architecture strategy experience (cloud or hybrid environments)
  • Governance, security and compliance leadership
  • Experience in real-time systems (anti-cheat, fraud detection or similar)
  • Background supporting analytics-driven business teams
  • Experience in large-scale, consumer digital environments (gaming, fintech, streaming, e-commerce, adtech)
  • Gaming experience - particularly telemetry and player engagement - is advantageous but not essential. Most importantly, you are an enabler: someone who empowers teams with trusted data, enables intelligent systems, and protects player experience through scalable architecture.

Benefits

  • Private Healthcare, including Dental Plan.
  • Minimum 6% Pension contributions.
  • Life Insurance.
  • Discretionary annual performance bonus.
  • Enhanced family leave policies from day 1.
