About the role

We bring games to the world that inspire people to play for more.
With over 20 challenging games where the outcome is dependent on player skills versus chance across a content library spanning classic card games to casual favorites to retro arcade games, WorldWinner has something for every gamer.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role embedded in a tight-knit analytics team, working directly with the Director of Business Performance on problem framing, prioritization, and execution.

You will own the modeling workstreams that sit at the core of how WorldWinner understands and serves its players.
Fair matching algorithm - modeling and improving skill-based player matching to create competitive, satisfying game experiences
Skill ranking system - developing and refining the rating framework that underpins player progression and matchmaking
Predictive LTV - building models that forecast player lifetime value to inform acquisition, targeting, and monetization decisions
We move fast, operate with high trust, and expect regular two-way communication on what you're building and why.

4+ years of experience in applied data science, with a track record of shipping models that drove measurable business outcomes
Experience owning models end-to-end
Strong proficiency in Python for modeling, statistical analysis, and data manipulation
Demonstrated ability to communicate technical work clearly to non-technical stakeholders - in writing, in meetings, and in executive presentations
Comfort working in a collaborative, fast-moving environment with regular check-ins and shared prioritization
Experience with matching algorithms, ELO/Glicko-style rating systems, or similar player ranking frameworks
Experience deploying models using cloud ML platforms (e.g. AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, Databricks ML, or similar)
Familiarity with modern analytics and data tooling (e.g. Hex, notebooks, dbt, Airflow)
Exciting, creative, and fun industry where you can make a measurable impact.

Advanced SQL skills and comfort working directly with large-scale data warehouses (Redshift experience a plus)

Backed by Platinum Equity and strategic investors, we are building the next phase of our platform on mobile and beyond.
