# Data Engineer — Recommendation Engine

The Role We're building a recommendation engine that surfaces the right products to the right player at the right moment inside our in-game store. A core challenge: we have limited in-app behavioural data today, so the system must rely heavily on external market signals to make great recommendations from day one. As our first Data Engineer, you will own the data infrastructure that makes this possible. You'll build the pipelines that collect, process, and serve these signals into our real-time ranking system. This is a foundational hire. The entire recommendation engine-from Deal Quality Scores to seasonal trends-depends on the pipelines you build. What You'll Do Own external data pipelines -scrapers for Flipkart/Amazon bestseller rankings, PriceHunt/Smartprix for price benchmarking, Google Trends API for brand and category demand signals Build the Deal Quality Score pipeline -a daily batch job that computes a competitiveness score for every product in our catalogue, stored in Redis for sub-millisecond lookup at serving time Maintain a seasonal and festive calendar -structured data store for trend overlays (IPL, Diwali, back-to-school, etc.) Design and own the in-store event schema
