Our team's goal is to develop, build, and maintain a best-in-class analytical data platform. As a

central data hub for the entire studio (and third parties), we provide both insights and data tools

to further the understanding of our players and how they interact with the game. The team is

built around three core sections: Data Engineering, Analytics, and Data Science.

As Junior Data Scientist, it will be your job to build algorithms and design experiments that will feed into data products that support the games in commercial, marketing and gameplay areas, all under the supervision and mentorship of our senior data scientists. Predictive modelling, machine and deep learning approaches will be added to your toolbox, allowing you to become a key player in the gaming data science sphere. You will be encouraged to suggest new areas of investigation to drive player engagement and increase the bottom line.

This role is key to our future data science function, and to that end you will receive coaching and mentoring from our senior Data Scientists. You will work closely with our data engineers and analysts to build and release systems that will have an impact on our games, players and staff. There is a fascinating dataset waiting to be explored and exploited in endlessly interesting ways, and the data collected changes and expands all the time.
