You will be responsible for the end-to-end data lifecycle—from establishing robust telemetry schemas to optimizing multi-million dollar growth strategies—ensuring our new project achieves market-leading scalability.

Game Design & Product Analytics

• Telemetry Architecture: Define and design the data telemetry schema. You decide what events we track to ensure we can reconstruct the player journey perfectly.
• Player Lifecycle: Analyze retention, churn, and engagement funnels to identify where players drop off and why.
• Level & Economy Balancing: Monitor win/pass rates, resource sinks, and difficulty curves for every level to ensure a "flow state" experience.
• A/B Testing: Lead the experimental design for new features, from hypothesis formulation to statistical significance testing.

Marketing & Growth Analytics

• Modern Workflow:
  Comfortable using LLMs and AI tools to accelerate your coding and analysis.
• Fast Learner:
  You have the logical foundation to quickly pick up Performance Marketing/UA concepts and apply your analytical rigor to growth challenges.
