Data Scientist

At Trailmix, our players are the very reason we exist and our mission is to create delightful spaces where millions of people can flourish. Our hit game Love & Pies, launched in September 2021, has resonated with millions worldwide and we build free-to-play mobile games that are snackable yet filled with heart, humour, and stories that stick.

We're a focused and highly collaborative team with a big creative spirit. We believe the best games are made when the people behind them feel inspired, supported, and proud of the work they do.

That's why our values sit at the heart of how we work, shaping every decision and creative choice we make.

• We win as one: Success is shared, and collaboration fuels everything we do because great games are never built solo.
• We are resilient by nature: We adapt and rise stronger each time because every challenge is a chance to evolve.
• We are powered by our players: Every choice begins with them because when our players thrive, so do we.
• We are kind and direct: We speak with honesty and care because clarity and compassion build the trust that makes us better.
• We stay curious and grow: We ask, explore, and learn because curiosity keeps our creativity alive.
• We decide boldly and own fully: We move with courage and conviction because great ideas only matter when we stand behind them.

Our values are what set Trailmix apart: they guide us in crafting games that are joyful, authentic, and player-first. We've created a workplace where both people and players feel seen, supported, and inspired. If you're excited by meaningful creativity, true collaboration, and making games that bring people joy, you'll feel right at home here, too.

We're looking for a Data Analyst or Data Scientist to join our data team in London on a 12-month Fixed Term Contract. If you love turning player data into clear answers and care about the games those answers shape, you'll fit right in. The title matters less to us than the person: a strong analyst with a product mindset is exactly who we're after.

Reporting to our Game Data Lead, you'll start by exploring new ways to grow our games organically, building on the groundwork the team is laying now.

You'll also pick up work across our existing games. You'll sit within a lean game team, giving them the insight they need to make good decisions, while being a valued part of the wider data team.

Success looks like a game team that treats you as one of their own and makes better decisions because of your work, and a data team that's stronger for having you in it.

We keep things simple. We'd rather act on a clear answer today than a perfect one next month. You'll have the independence to shape your approach, make decisions within your area and take ownership of outcomes, with experienced teammates to collaborate with when you need another perspective.

• Use good judgement in how you work
  , balancing speed with quality, adapting to changing priorities and raising risks early.
