Job description
This is a remote position.
Why this role matters
In mobile games, data isn’t just numbers — it’s player stories, monetization insight, and growth direction.
We're looking for a Senior Data Scientist to turn raw gameplay data into powerful insights that help us build better games. You’ll work at the intersection of analytics, design, and product, using data to inform features, fine-tune balance, and steer the roadmap.
If you love solving high-impact questions, designing experiments, and diving into millions of player actions — you’ll thrive here.
What you’ll do
Analyze player behavior to improve retention, progression, and monetization
Design and evaluate A/B tests to validate features, pricing models, and game design decisions
Build dashboards and reporting tools that democratize data for product and game teams
Collaborate with product managers, game designers, and live ops to guide strategy
Define and track key game KPIs like D1/D7 retention, LTV, ARPU, and churn
Develop predictive models to anticipate player behavior and optimize engagement
Communicate complex findings simply and clearly to cross-functional teams
Requirements
Who you are
4–6+ years of experience in data science or product analytics
Strong skills in SQL, Python, and data visualization (e.g., Tableau, Looker, or similar)
Experience working with large-scale datasets, preferably in mobile or gaming
Deep understanding of A/B testing, statistical modeling, and causal inference
Familiar with core game KPIs and monetization models (F2P, IAPs, ads, subscriptions)
Comfortable owning analytics end-to-end — from data exploration to business impact
Clear communicator who can turn data into product direction
Benefits
Why join us
Work on live games with millions of daily players and real-time impact
A team that values experimentation, iteration, and learning fast
Competitive compensation, performance bonuses, and equity options
Flexible work schedule, remote-first culture, and zero bureaucracy
Game time is part of the job — seriously
