Rec Room is the best place to build and play games together. Users can chat, hang out, explore MILLIONS of rooms, or build something new to share with the world!

• Support data scientists focused on UGC across multiple teams, including the Maker Pen team, Logic & Circuits team, UGC Foundations, and Creator Academy.
• Partner with designers and engineers to define the DS research and understand the roadmap that can best inform short and long-term product strategy.
• Work with team leads on integrating A/B testing as part of the product development cycle
• Land some IC contributions, focusing on driving larger strategic projects to completion
• Define best practices and support and grow a high-quality, high-impact team
