Job Description :

Your Role Within Our Kingdom We are seeking an Associate Principal Data Scientist—a highly experienced and technically deep individual contributor who leads through influence, owns high-impact initiatives, and drives scientific excellence across experimentation and modeling. Responsibilities :

  • Lead the design and execution of large-scale data science initiatives, shaping the roadmap for experimentation and modeling across teams.
  • Apply advanced statistical, optimization, and machine learning techniques (e.g., time-series, regression / classification, recommendation engines, reinforcement learning, and genAI) to drive system understanding and develop data-powered solutions across the organization.
  • Own design and evaluation of experimentation for optimization systems.
  • Provide technical direction, mentor senior data scientists, and set high standards for scientific rigor, communication, and reproducibility.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Game Studios to frame ambiguous problems, scope solutions, and influence strategy.
  • Champion innovation by evaluating new methodologies and tools, and by raising the bar for scalable, interpretable, and actionable data science.

Skills to Create Thrills Minimum Qualifications :

  • Master’s degree or PhD in a quantitative field (e.g., Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Operations Research).
  • 14+ years of industry experience (or equivalent post-graduate experience) in data science, experimentation, statistical modeling, and machine learning, including work with large-scale systems.
  • Proficient in Python and SQL; familiarity with big data tools (e.g., Spark, Hive) and cloud computing platforms (e.g., GCP, AWS).
  • Strong systems thinking—able to zoom out and define strategy while also diving deep into code and analysis.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with demonstrated experience partnering across Product, Engineering and Businessteams.
  • Demonstrated experience mentoring, influencing, and elevating the technical bar across a data science organization.
  • Bonus Points

  • Experience working with advertising data products or monetization systems.
  • Prior work with mobile gaming studios or player behavior modeling.
  • Experience in developing or maintaining experimentation platforms.
  • Familiarity with modern data orchestration and versioning (e.g., Airflow, dbt, MLflow).
  • We love hearing from anyone who is enthusiastic about changing the games industry. Not sure you meet all qualifications? Let us decide!
