Working at 1X2 Network

We work energetically to distribute our successful portfolio of online and mobile iGaming concepts. Our dedication is rewarded with clear career progression and a stimulating work environment, as well as a variety of social activities and company get-togethers. We pride ourselves on offering our employees a workplace that supports personal growth with a team of confident, experienced and supportive colleagues.

Travel is occasionally required when we collaborate with colleagues and network with other leading iGaming companies at industry events and festivals. We are proud of our international team and large global partnerships with leading clients.

The Position

We are looking for a Data Engineer to design, build and maintain the data pipelines and infrastructure that underpin our BI and analytics. As a business we handle an enormous amount of data, predominantly focused on the performance of our games across a large number of clients and markets. Reliable, scalable and well-modelled data is essential so that the business can understand, analyse and act on that data—from game development to sales strategy.

The Data Engineer will own the flow of data from source systems into our analytics layer, ensuring data quality, performance and availability. You will work closely with the BI team and other stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver robust, maintainable solutions. The role is fast-paced, technical and ideal for someone who enjoys building systems that others depend on.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build data pipelines to ingest, transform and load data from game platforms, operators and internal systems into analytics layer.
  • Maintain and evolve our data infrastructure: ensuring reliability, performance and cost-effectiveness.
  • Model data for analytics and reporting so the team and business users can query and visualise data effectively.
  • Implement data quality checks and monitoring using Grafana (and related tooling) so issues are caught early and pipelines are trustworthy.
  • Collaborate with the team to understand data needs, prioritise work and ensure the right data is available at the right time.
  • Document pipelines, schemas and processes so the data platform is understandable and maintainable by the team.
  • Optimise queries and pipelines for performance and scale as data volume and usage grow.

Required Experience

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining data pipelines (ETL/ELT), preferably in a production environment.
  • Strong SQL for querying, transforming and modelling data.
  • Python — experience with Python for scripting, automation or pipeline logic is a strong plus.
  • Knowledge of our core data stack:
  • MySQL — querying, modelling and optimising relational data.
  • Debezium — using change data capture (CDC) to stream database changes into our data pipelines.
  • AWS Athena — running analytics queries on data in S3 and building/managing tables and views.
  • Upsolver — building and maintaining streaming/batch pipelines and data lake ingestion.
  • Power BI — building or maintaining reports and datasets so the BI team and business can self-serve.
  • Grafana — building dashboards and alerts for pipeline health, data quality and operational monitoring.
  • Familiarity with data warehousing concepts and working with both relational (e.g. MySQL) and query-on-object-storage (e.g. Athena) environments.
  • A focus on reliability and quality: testing, monitoring and clear documentation.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, prioritise effectively and communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have (not essential):

  • Experience with dbt, Airflow or similar orchestration/modelling tools.
  • Knowledge of iGaming or high-volume event/telemetry data.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is motivated, pragmatic, and keen to learn—ready to own our data pipelines and help the business make better use of its data.

The Benefits of working at 1X2 Network (update depending on location)

  • Long-term career prospects with opportunities for training and development.
  • A fun working atmosphere amongst an enthusiastic and dynamic team.
  • Save money and stay healthy with our salary sacrifice options
  • We offer a stimulating work environment in a state-of-the-art, purpose-designed space, including games, free snacks and drinks and a pinball machine.
  • Social working environment, including game launch parties, and the much anticipated Summer and Christmas parties!
  • Brighton: 2-minute walk from Brighton train station; 5-minute walk from the Brighton Lanes, pubs and night life.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.
