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 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 companies stack (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
