• Lead analysis across player behavior, feature and content performance, monetization, and overall game health.
• Turn ambiguous design, product, and publishing questions into clear analytical plans and recommendations.
• Develop proxy metrics for player-experience goals such as pacing, challenge, friction, agency, and build diversity.
• Combine telemetry, playtests, surveys, sentiment, and product context to evaluate whether features are landing as intended.
• Apply judgment to imperfect evidence, including small samples, pre-launch tests, incomplete telemetry, noisy signals, and bias.
• Support commercial questions around launch, acquisition, segmentation, campaigns, and franchise health.
• Build dashboards and analytical frameworks that support consistent decision-making.
• Communicate insights clearly across design, product, publishing, research, engineering, data science, and leadership.

• Experience partnering directly with designers, producers, product managers, researchers, engineers, or game leadership.
• Ability to distinguish between similar-looking behavioral signals, such as challenge versus frustration, friction versus intentional difficulty, novelty versus durable engagement, or confusion versus experimentation.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain what the data supports, what remains uncertain, and what teams should do next.
• A background in statistics, mathematics, economics, computer science, or another applied quantitative discipline.

Requirements

• 4+ years of analytics experience in the games industry, ideally supporting game development, live operations, player behavior analysis, feature evaluation, or gameplay systems.
• 2+ years of experience working on a shipped game, live service game, or game team operating through rapid development cycles such as playtests, launch, live events, or content releases.
• Familiarity with the realities of game development, including changing priorities, incomplete information, telemetry gaps, cross-functional dependencies, and decisions that cannot wait for perfect data.

• Matching 401(k).
• Paid time off.
• Wellness program.
• Employee discounts for Sony products.
