We believe that each Viking is unique and brings exponential value to the company. In return, we provide Vikings with the opportunity to solve problems through continuous learning and fostering feedback, ultimately mastering their craft. By investing in our Vikings and in new technologies, we can continue our success for years to come.

We are embarking on an adventure and rely on our team of skilled, enthusiastic, and collaborative Vikings to turn our ship towards a new horizon.

About the Role:

Big Viking Games is looking for a Data Analyst to join our team and help uncover insights that drive smarter game decisions for our flagship titles—YoWorld and FishWorld.

Embedded within the Product Team, you’ll analyze player behaviour, evaluate monetization performance, and build dashboards that guide feature, content, and live‑ops strategy.

You’ll help shape decisions across roadmap planning, A/B testing, feature development, and in‑game economy optimization—while building clean, reliable data sets and scalable reporting foundations.

This intermediate‑level role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, data‑driven environment and wants their dashboards and analyses to directly influence millions of players.

What You’ll Do:

In-game analytics & reporting

• Build and maintain dashboards (DAU, engagement, player spend, event performance) for Product and Live Ops teams.
• Analyze player behaviour, feature performance, and monetization trends to inform roadmap and tuning decisions.
• Support A/B test design, impact analysis, and lift measurement for new gameplay features, gem events, and reactivation offers.
• Partner with product managers to track the health of in‑game economies and pricing strategies.

Insight generation & collaboration

• Partner with stakeholders to define success metrics and measure impact.
• Translate findings into clear, actionable insights that drive product and design decisions.
• Collaborate with senior analysts to validate forecasts, adoption models, and player segmentations.

Data quality & tools

• Write performant SQL queries to extract and structure large data sets.
• Maintain and improve the accuracy of dashboards and self‑serve reporting tools.
• Partner with Data Engineering to ensure consistency across pipelines and BI platforms.

The Must-Haves:

• 2–4 years in data, product, or game analytics.
• Proficiency in SQL and at least one scripting language (Python, R, etc.).
• Experience building dashboards with Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or similar.
• Strong attention to detail, so you’ll notice we’d like you to mention "Kattegat" in your application.
• Curiosity about games and player behaviour.
• Ability to translate complex data into simple, actionable recommendations.

The Nice-To-Haves:

• Experience with in‑game economy or event analysis.
• Familiarity with A/B testing frameworks and statistical concepts.
• Understanding of free‑to‑play mobile game metrics and KPIs.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, and vision) including HSA/WSA spending account from Day One
• RRSP participation & matching
• 15 Vacation Days + 10 Wellness Days
