Job Details

About Sandsoft:

Headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Sandsoft is a global video game developer, publisher and investor with a focus on engaging and entertaining players worldwide.

Our vision is to be the leading mobile-first games publisher & developer out the MENA region.

Our international team is composed of passionate and brave game makers with vast experience in developing, publishing and leading highly successful AAA mobile, console and desktop games including FIFA, Candy Crush, Need for Speed, Angry Birds, World of Tanks and more!

Through a passion for games, Sandsoft Games aims at bringing closer continents, cultures, and people.

About the role:

Sandsoft is looking for an experienced Lead Data Scientist responsible for analyzing and interpreting data to drive insights into player behaviour, marketing campaigns, and market trends. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of game analytics, experience in using data to make strategic decision and be able to effectively communicate insights to stakeholders. If you have the ability to deep dive into the data through SQL and advanced analytics tools as well as explain outcomes and insights efficiently, there is a fantastic journey for you in Sandsoft.

In this role, you will be responsible for more than just traditional data analysis. You will also lead segmentation analysis and machine learning processes for retention and lifetime value (LTV) projections. This is a great opportunity for someone who is looking to expand their skills and take on more responsibility.

Location: Barcelona

What you will do:

  • Lead the analysis of marketing campaigns, market trends, and in-game user journey
  • Review and analyze market test data
  • Work with stakeholders to define and prioritize data analysis needs
  • Stay up-to-date on the latest trends in game analytics
  • Contribute on customer retention and lifetime value (LTV) improvement through data projections
  • Develop and maintain data analysis reports and insights on our acquisition, engagement and monetization pillars

What you need to be successful in the role:

  • Bachelor's degree in data science, statistics or a related field
  • Solid experience in data analysis
  • Strong gaming experience understanding different game categories data, LTV curves shape, and the UA actions effect
  • Strong understanding of data analysis techniques
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Proficiency in data analysis software, such as Tableau, Power BI, or Google Data Studio

For this type of role, strong gaming experience is a must. Selected candidate needs to fully understand the business side of gaming: how different game categories perform, how their LTV curves should look like, how to get the relevant data from the MMP dashboards, how UA affects the results, etc.

We create the best possible, small teams and give them the freedom and independence to work together in pursuit of creating and publishing the highest quality games with high reliability and competition at the heart of the experience. Each team has the freedom to pursue this goal as they see fit. It’s up to them to decide what is best for Sandsoft and for our players.

We Defer to Trust. We trust each other, even when we disagree. In this environment, you will work with your colleagues who will trust you to do what makes sense and give you the autonomy to do what is right for Sandsoft as only our game teams can make the decision to launch or shut down their project.

Everyone is a Game Maker. Everybody in our team is first and foremost, a Game Maker and you will be no different. We encourage our people to use their talents where they have the most impact. We ask and give feedback proactively to inform our decisions.
