About the role

Data Scientist at Clipwire Games developing models for game systems and data pipelines. Collaborating with product and development teams for analytics and insights.

Responsibilities

Develop statistical models and simulation frameworks to evaluate game systems such as progression, rewards, and in-game economies.
Build and maintain scalable data pipelines, datasets, and tooling required to support modelling, forecasting, and experimentation infrastructure.
Design and implement experimentation frameworks used by product teams to evaluate new features, balance changes, and content releases.
Partner closely with development teams to ensure reliable in-game data collection and robust instrumentation for analytical systems.
Write production-quality code for data transformation, modelling, and simulation using modern data and software development practices.
Develop reusable libraries, tools, and frameworks that support experimentation, statistical analysis, and game system modelling across titles.
Forecast the impact of design changes using predictive models and simulation techniques.
Maintain clear documentation, version control, and reproducibility standards for analytical code and modelling workflows.
Support complex technical investigations involving large-scale player behaviour datasets and game system performance.

Expert-level SQL and strong Python — writes clean, well-structured, production-quality code
Comfortable owning data infrastructure end-to-end
Deep statistical knowledge — experimental design, causal inference, Bayesian methods, and distribution modelling
Hands-on experimentation experience: power analysis, sequential testing, multivariate design, and correct result interpretation
Experience building economy models or simulations — understanding of virtual currencies, balance dynamics, and forecasting
Highly self-directed — able to scope, prioritise, and deliver complex technical work independently
Able to communicate technical approaches and trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders
Background in mobile or free-to-play games is a strong asset
