Team, about the role

We would be delighted to meet talented analysts who may have recently started their careers but have already achieved initial successes. Most importantly, they have realized that product research and contributing to its development is truly what they enjoy doing :)

Tasks

Behind every product stands a strong analytics team, but interaction won't be limited to within it. Certainly, typical tasks for any game product analyst include analyzing game economy, balance, player behavior, and much more. However, the primary and most important task for a Data Analyst in our team is to facilitate decision-making processes that lead to sustainable long-term product development. Additional tasks include:

conducting A/B tests and offline testing of new algorithms;
interpreting results, formulating conclusions, and new hypotheses;
the bonus task: predicting how changes in one or more factors will impact player retention, churn, and resource balance across different player segments.

Our stack

Excellent technical stack (JupyterHub or Databricks + PySpark): modern and reusable in other companies. Everything employees learn at Playrix remains relevant and easily monetizable.
No tool restrictions, resources are allocated swiftly, and we have full access to AWS.
We gather data through Appsflyer (marketing) and Amplitude (product).
Raw data is stored in S3, ETL is handled by Airflow, prepared tables and views are in Redshift. Data quality, lineage, catalog – Monte Carlo.
Analysts work with data using SQL and Python in Jupyter/Databricks notebooks, and prototype dashboards using Tableau.
We're developing self-service and analytical products for data consumers, relieving analysts from routine tasks.

Requirements

a degree from a technical university, coupled with strong mathematical skills — knowledge of probability theory and applied statistics;
experience in a large technical or retail company with visible professional growth results;
experience in A/B testing, data analysis, product/marketing analytics;
strong knowledge and experience with SQL and Python;
business orientation, ability to find practical solutions within time constraints, and avoid unnecessary complexity;
a proactive stance, ability to take responsibility for outcomes, and act in uncertain situations.

Our advantages

truly large-scale operations: hundreds of millions of players, petabytes of data (we store everything from the past 7 years), and marketing limited only by effectiveness, not budget.
a data-driven approach — we measure everything, conduct experiments, and make decisions based on data wherever possible.
all conclusions are statistically supported; analysts set decision-making standards. Even for non-analytical staff, confidence intervals are not just empty words.
the ability to change processes and approaches to more effective ones without lengthy approvals and bureaucracy.
