Growth Game Data Analyst

About the Role
We are a mobile game development and publishing company looking for a Growth Game Data Analyst who is curious, analytical, proactive, and passionate about mobile game design and mechanics.
This role sits at the intersection of data, game design, economy, and growth. You will analyze player behavior, core loops, live ops, and economy balance to optimize gameplay experience and drive retention.

What You'll Do
Stay up to date with the mobile gaming industry, market trends, and growth practices.
Analyze player progression, core loops, and game economy balance to identify design bottlenecks and growth opportunities.
Turn analysis into clear game design and balance recommendations for design and product teams.
Design, run, and analyze A/B tests for feature tweaks, level tuning, and LiveOps events.
Analyze key game metrics such as retention, engagement, conversion, monetization, LTV, ARPU/ARPPU, and player progression.
Monitor the company's active games and publishing projects, identify meaningful changes in their KPIs, and investigate the reasons behind them.
Build dashboards and analyses that make important information accessible to teams.
Collaborate with Game Designers, Economy Designers, Product Managers, and LiveOps to improve player experience through data.
Proactively identify opportunities for new analyses, experiments, and improvements instead of only responding to requests.

What We're Looking For
Good understanding of mobile game design principles, core loops, and monetization systems.
Practical knowledge of SQL and working with structured data.
Understanding of A/B testing, progression funnels, economy modeling, and player segmentation.
Familiarity with mobile game/product metrics such as retention, engagement, monetization, LTV, and conversion.
Ability to create meaningful visualizations and deliver findings through data storytelling.
Ability to move from data → insight → hypothesis → action.
Genuine interest in mobile games, game products, player behavior, and the gaming market.

What Matters to Us
We especially value:
Curiosity — you naturally ask why something happened and want to investigate it.
Game sense & design thinking — you connect telemetry data directly to player psychology, feature enjoyment, and game systems.
Proactivity — you look for opportunities and problems instead of waiting for someone to request a report.
Discipline & reliability — your analyses are organized, reproducible, and trustworthy.
Critical thinking — you challenge assumptions and distinguish correlation from meaningful evidence.
Communication — you can turn complex analysis into a simple story and clear recommendation.
Collaboration — you enjoy working with product, marketing, technical, and business teams.
Continuous learning — you actively follow changes in analytics, gaming, marketing, and technology.

AI-Assisted Work
Being comfortable with modern AI tools is important to us.
We value candidates who use AI effectively for research, learning, SQL, analysis, brainstorming hypotheses, exploring datasets, and improving the speed and quality of their work — while still validating results and taking responsibility for their conclusions.

Nice to Have
Experience or exposure to any of the following is a plus:
Hands-on game design, system balancing, or level design experience.
Mobile attribution and marketing analytics platforms.
Firebase / GA4 or similar analytics platforms.
BI and visualization tools.
Basic Python or another scripting language for data analysis.
Working with live products and monitoring their performance over time.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who enjoys combining games + data + experimentation + business thinking to discover opportunities and help our games grow.
