Job Title :

Associate Principal Data Scientist

Requisition ID : R025545

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 Business teams.
  • 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! Research shows that women, veterans, and members of other under-represented groups tend to not apply to jobs when they think they may not meet every qualification, when, in fact, they often do! We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and strongly encourage you to apply.
