- Expert SQL skills; ability to wrangle messy data into clean, performant datasets
- Proficiency in Python or R and experience with ML libraries (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, etc.)
- Strong attention to detail, so you'll notice we'd like you to mention "Kattegat" in your application
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining BI dashboards (Looker, Tableau, Power BI or similar)
- Ability to blend descriptive analytics (“What happened? Why?”) with predictive insight (“What will happen? How can we optimize?”)
- Proven track record applying first-principles thinking to build and validate forecasting and predictive models that drove measurable product or revenue impact (validating assumptions, testing holdout samples, iterating on feature engineering)
- Ability to translate complex data insights into concise stories and actionable recommendations
- Experience with in-game economy design or IAP configuration
- Familiarity with A/B testing frameworks (Optimizely, Firebase, custom tooling)

- Reporting into the Product org, this Staff-level role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hypothesis-driven environment and wants their dashboards, forecasts and automation to directly impact millions of players
- You’ll help drive smarter decisions across roadmap planning, feature development, campaign performance, and in-game economy optimization—while championing first-principles analytics, machine-learning pipelines, and self-serve data automation
- End-to-end analytics & modelling
- Build and maintain dashboards (DAU, player spend, content performance, pricing effectiveness) for stakeholders across Product, Marketing and Finance
- Analyze player behaviour, campaign performance and monetization trends to inform roadmap and live-ops tuning
- Develop predictive models and forecasting pipelines (e.g. adoption curves, revenue projections, churn risk) using first-principles thinking
- Impact & experimentation
- Lead A/B test design, impact analysis and lift measurement for Gem Events, Challenges, Reactivation Offers and new gameplay features (ex. SplashO, Storylines)
- Partner with FP&A to quantify cost savings and migration impacts
- Automation & scalability
- Identify inefficiencies in IAP config, asset throughput and content velocity—recommend and build agentic workflows to streamline campaign planning and delivery
- Collaborate with Data Engineering to operationalize data pipelines, enable self-serve analytics and embed predictive insights into product dashboards
- Cross-functional thought partnership
- Translate complex quantitative findings into clear, actionable recommendations for PMs, engineers and live-ops leads
- Evangelize next-gen analytics best practices, mentor junior analysts and shape our data-driven culture
