Data Analyst (visa- toby)

Jam City•Culver City, CA

About The Position

The Data Analyst will apply industry knowledge to creatively analyze data and implement project and studio improvements using statistical methods. This role involves leading complex analytics projects, utilizing data warehousing, architecture, modeling, and ETL processes with tools like SparkSQL and Python to create structured data views. The analyst will employ advanced analytics techniques, including statistical simulations and machine learning algorithms (logistic regression, boosted trees, random forest), to generate intelligence, predict player behavior, and evaluate feature performance using R/Python scripts. Key responsibilities include extracting and analyzing complex datasets to understand game metrics, inform hypotheses, and design analytical experiments. The position also requires performing ad hoc analysis to identify patterns in player behavior, measure feature performance, support user acquisition, and resolve data issues using R, Python, Excel, and SparkSQL. The Data Analyst will identify and implement operational improvements in data tasks and processes, create and distribute data insights through regular and ad-hoc reports using platforms like Tableau, Excel, and SQL, and summarize business intelligence for executives. Collaboration with senior managers to solve problems and clarify objectives, formulating mathematical or simulation models to improve game performance, and cross-functional communication of statistical findings are also essential aspects of this role.
