Tasks

Behind every product is a strong analytics team, but interaction will not only be within it. Naturally, you will have to deal with the classic tasks of any game product analyst: analyzing the game economy, balance, player behavior, and much more. However, the most fundamental and important task for a Senior Data Analyst in the team is to ensure decision-making processes that lead to sustainable long-term product development. Also, among the tasks are:

Developing player segmentation for adapting the gameplay to the user experience

Conducting analysis, preparing reports, and recommendations for changing games within the product team

Organizing the collection and automated processing of all collected game data, developing dashboards for recurring reports

Participating in the preparation and conduct of A/B testing

Our stack

Modern and reusable in other companiesstack (JupyterHub or Databricks + PySpark). Skills gained while working at Playrix remain relevant and easily monetizable.

No restrictions on tools, resources are allocated quickly, and we have access to the entire AWS

Data is collected through Appsflyer (marketing) and Amplitude (product)

Raw data is stored in S3, ETL processes are managed by Airflow, and prepared tables and views are stored in Redshift. Data Quality, lineage, cataloging are managed through Monte Carlo

Analysts manipulate data using SQL and Python in Jupyter/Databricks notebooks, and they prototype dashboards using Tableau

We are developing self-service and analytical products for data consumers, relieving analysts of routine tasks

Requirements

Excellent mathematical background — knowledge of probability theory and applied statistics at the level of a technical university graduate

Experience in data analysis, product/marketing analytics

Excellent knowledge and experience working with SQL

Experience working with Python

Experience in ML (Machine Learning) would also be very useful

Business-oriented, ability to find practical solutions in limited time, not overcomplicate where it's unnecessary

Proactive stance, ability and willingness to take responsibility for results, ability to act in situations of uncertainty

Our advantages

Truly large scale: hundreds of millions of players, petabytes of data (we store everything from the last 7 years) and marketing limited by efficiency, not budget

Data-driven approach – we measure everything, conduct experiments, and make decisions based on data wherever possible

All conclusions are made with reliance on statistics, and analysts set the standards for decision-making. Even for employees far from analytics, confidence intervals are not an empty sound

Opportunity to change processes and approaches to more efficient ones without lengthy approvals and bureaucracy

Our Perks

Flexibility
Work from wherever you like (your home, one of our many offices, or a hybrid combination) and whenever you like thanks to our flexible work schedule.

Healthcare
We reimburse online sessions with a psychologist and offer you and your children healthcare, including dental insurance and treatment for COVID-19.

Fitness
We support leading a healthy lifestyle and offer reimbursement for gym memberships, or fitness app subscriptions.

Community involvement
