Engagement Overview

Balor Games is engaging a Senior Analytics Engineer on a six-month contract to deliver three defined bodies of work: a Snowflake data architecture that scales with our growth, agentic automation of routine finance data processes, and a secure, governed Tableau reporting layer. The contractor will own the technical delivery of these projects end to end, coordinating with finance and publishing leads for requirements, data access, and acceptance of deliverables.

This is a hands-on engagement for an experienced practitioner who is comfortable with finance data (revenue, fees, taxes, refunds, royalties, and reconciliations) and can deliver documented, production-ready work within the term. The ideal contractor builds end-to-end pipelines that turn ingested data into actionable reporting and applies disciplined data engineering practices when building AI-assisted tooling.

Scope of Work

- Refactor Snowflake pipelines to scale with business growth, building data models that support game and platform growth and improved master data management

- Build new ingestion pipelines for marketing metrics and join them to sales data, with data quality checks and monitoring

- Build agent-assisted workflows for month-end close, developer payments, recoup tracking, and seller statement validation

- Reconcile warehouse data to platform and partner statements and flag exceptions for human review

- Add row- and column-level permissioning across the Tableau dashboard suite using a single governed entitlement source

Deliverables

A milestone schedule with acceptance criteria will be agreed in the Statement of Work during the first two weeks of the engagement. Expected deliverables include:

- Refactored Snowflake data models and master data management framework, deployed to production with documentation
