Résumé du poste

Voodoo in Paris is seeking a Data & Gaming Analyst to own measurement and tuning of games and the in-game economy. You will work with game designers and product managers to optimize difficulty, balance, payouts, and matchmaking.

You will run A/B tests, build simulations, create dashboards, and translate analyses into actionable recommendations that influence the product roadmap.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in analytical roles, ideally within gaming or data-intensive product environments.
• Skilled in SQL and Python; experience with large, complex datasets.
• Strong grasp of A/B testing and statistical methods.
• Comfortable with simulation and modeling to reason about game parameters, difficulty, and economy outcomes.

Responsabilités

• Own the A/B testing cycle for games and game parameters — designing experiments, validating changes, and reading out results that drive core KPIs (engagement, RTP, rake, fairness, retention).
• Analyze and calibrate game parameters — difficulty, scoring, completion rates, seed selection, and payout structures — to hit target player experience and economic goals.
• Translate analyses into clear, actionable recommendations that shape game design and the product roadmap.
• Build simulations and prototypes to pressure-test parameter and economy changes before rollout, then monitor them live once shipped.
• Collaborate closely with game designers and engineers to embed data-driven decisions across the full game lifecycle.
• Build and maintain dashboards and reports that keep the Gaming and Data teams aligned on critical game and economy metrics.

Role

• Build simulations and prototypes to pressure-test parameter and economy changes before rollout, then monitor them live once shipped.

• Collaborate closely with game designers and engineers to embed data-driven decisions across the full game lifecycle.

• Build and maintain dashboards and reports that keep the Gaming and Data teams aligned on critical game and economy metrics.

Profile

• 3+ years in analytical roles, ideally within gaming or a data-intensive product environment, comfortable working directly with product and design teams.

• Skilled in SQL and Python; experience with large, complex datasets.

• Strong grasp of A/B testing and statistical methods.

• Comfortable with simulation and modeling to reason about game parameters, difficulty, and game economy outcomes.
