Playrix: Senior Data Analytics (Soft Launch)

Senior Data Analytics (Soft Launch)

Playrix is one of the most successful companies in the world in mobile game development. In terms of revenue, we rank in the top 3 globally and are the top-grossing among all mobile applications in EMEA. Our games have been downloaded 2.3 billion times (a third of the Earth's population), and every day, more than 30 million people play our games worldwide!

We invite an experienced analyst to join Soft Launch — a team where something amazing happens every day. Unlike many products, our incubator is filled with diverse projects, games with unique mechanics, making our work truly dynamic. We assist games in constant evolution, and in return, we encounter new challenges and non-trivial tasks. We conduct diverse research, uncovering unexpected perspectives and delivering tangible benefits not to one but several products simultaneously. Working at Soft Launch is a unique opportunity to stand out right from the start at Playrix and make a significant product impact.

This role requires relocation from Russia and Belarus to one of our offices or remote work from other countries (except Russia and Belarus). Find out morehere.
