One thing we have at Valve is data. Lots and lots of data. We also have economists, and we’re always looking to add to our team.
Economists at Valve use their outstanding empirical research skills to turn that data into insights that guide product decisions and improve our customers' experiences.
Some projects that Valve economists have worked on in the past include :
- Building quantitative models to identify what leads to fun and rewarding experiences with our products
- Exploring the nuanced social institutions and economic phenomena that emerge from in-game virtual economies
- Studying how tastes are evolving on Steam, Valve's game distribution platform
- Conducting experiments to test hypotheses about Steam features and in-game economies
- Providing economic and empirical rationale to inform group decision-making processes
The economists that we currently have at Valve have a graduate degree in Economics or related field, advanced knowledge of applied statistics and econometrics, extensive practical experience applying these methods to guide decision-making, proficiency writing and shipping SQL code in a large-scale relational database environment, and proficiency in one or more programming languages such as C++, PHP, and Python.
