Your role within our Kingdom

If you want to improve the experience of King's 300 million+ players across our network of games and help us to further understand, model, predict, segment and retain our players, then this may be the right opportunity for you. You will be part of a community of 80+ business intelligence & analytics experts. As a Data Scientist Tech Lead at King, your role will be focused on particular games, although there is the option to move around between teams easily.

Specifically, you'll:

Proactively develop new analyses, experiments and data-driven tools to better understand our players' behaviour and the performance of our games
Lead recruitment, onboarding, peer review and career development for the team from a technical perspective
Be self-motivated to learn and drive your teams' development while improving methodology and working practices across the company
Provide an analytics perspective to discussions and prioritisation within your team, so that the overall team selects the right ideas to work on
Be the pro-active owner of the entire data chain for your games

Business Insight: The ability to understand the problems and issues our games and business wants to solve, and then defining the right data, analysis or interpretation to lead to the right recommendations and decisions
Leadership: The ability to mentor, guide and inspire your colleagues and drive best practices across the company
SQL: The ability to write complex SQL queries to analyse our databases with 300+ million players, and work effectively with both Hive and relational database systems.
Analytical coding: Using tools such as R, Python (and also Excel) for analytical purposes
Stats: Understanding the appropriate statistical or machine learning techniques to use in different circumstances.
Communication: Designing good ways of communicating, visualising or reporting your results/analysis so they are clear and unambiguous
There is plenty of scope at King for you to learn from your colleagues in the areas where you have less experience, and to share your own skills where you are stronger.
Specific experience that might be helpful, but is not required, includes: experience in the games industry or similarly sophisticated customer-facing digital businesses; experience in "big data" systems such as Hadoop, Hive; experience in behavioural psychology/economics; robust understanding of more advanced statistical techniques suitable for analysis of highly skewed populations; experience in predictive analytics, segmentation, and related areas; experience in experimental design; software engineering skills in Java and other languages (beyond R and Python which we use most frequently); skills with standard reporting tools such as QlikView/Tableau/etc.
Personal Attributes
Smart - intellectual dexterity
High integrity
Low ego
Pragmatic problem-solver - someone who looks for solutions rather than worrying about problems

We're knights of creativity!

We believe that great gaming experiences happen when they are developed by working in small, autonomous creative teams that control the whole process - from idea to amazing game. Our close connection with the player community gets us instant feedback and enables us to deliver truly magical moments. We value your free time and your need to refuel, relax and find inspiration - by playing games with your colleagues, being at home with your family or going to the gym or out for a run. That's how we stay creative. That's why we call ourselves developers of magic and knights of creativity!
