Job Application for Senior Data Visualization Engineer at ArenaNet

At ArenaNet, we’ve always believed that games are art. They have the power to communicate ideas and tell stories. They can change the way we think, reflect our cultures, and move us. As the developer of the award-winning Guild Wars game series, we’re proud to share our passion for the online worlds we’ve created with over 11 million players worldwide.

ArenaNet develops and publishes games for every kind of person, which means our games need to be built by every kind of person. We believe the best experiences come from working together, celebrating differences, and helping each of our team members shine.

Are you passionate about turning complex data into clear, meaningful insights? Do you thrive in a creative, game-focused environment where your data storytelling shapes real-time decisions? ArenaNet is looking for a Senior Data Visualization Engineer to help us elevate how we understand player behavior and game performance across all our titles.

In this role, you’ll design intuitive, self-service visualizations that empower teams across the studio - from developers to publishing - to make smart, data-informed decisions. You’ll partner closely with Data Engineering, Data Analysts, and Data Scientists to translate raw data into beautifully crafted visuals that drive impact.

Own and evolve data visualization across all ArenaNet games.
Collaborate with dev teams to design gameplay data visuals that reflect live player behavior.
Build and maintain dynamic dashboards using tools like Tableau, Databricks, PowerBI, or Looker.
Integrate data from multiple game titles into one set of unified business intelligence reports.
Tackle technical visualization challenges - from dual-axis charts to real-time heatmaps of playtest data.
Work with Data Engineering to streamline architecture for faster time-to-analysis.
Manage downstream data dependencies, and troubleshoot live visualization issues with ease.
Engage stakeholders to gather requirements and continuously improve reporting solutions.

What You’ll Need To Be Successful

A Bachelor’s degree in Data Analytics, Computer Science, or a related field (Master’s is a plus).
5+ years of experience building compelling, actionable, and user-friendly data visualizations.
A strong background with tools like Tableau, Databricks, PowerBI, Looker - or similar.
High level of proficiency in Python, SQL, and data visualization libraries (Plotly, D3.js, Matplotlib, etc.).
Deep understanding of data architecture design paradigms (Kimball, Inmon, etc.) and data warehousing solutions (Redshift, Snowflake, Databricks Delta Lake, etc.).
Strong grasp of visualization techniques (heatmaps, dual axis, dropline, real-time, etc.).
Love games and are curious about player behavior and how games tick.
Communicate clearly and effectively with both technical and non-technical folks.
Are a strong problem solver who can turn business requirements into meaningful visualizations.
Work well independently and can manage shifting priorities with confidence.
Bonus: Experience working in games or visualizing gameplay/playtest data.
