About Voodoo

Founded in 2013, Voodoo is a tech company that creates mobile games and apps with a mission to entertain the world. Gathering 800 employees, 7 billion downloads, and over 200 million active users, Voodoo is the #3 mobile publisher worldwide in terms of downloads after Google and Meta. Our portfolio includes chart-topping games like Mob Control and Block Jam, alongside popular apps such as BeReal and Wizz.

Team

Blitz is a gaming platform launched by Voodoo in 2021, allowing players to compete on mobile games for real cash prizes (head-up, tournaments, leagues, etc.). It is leveraging Voodoo's unique game portfolio to engage users in a fun and rewarding way.

Role

This role sits at the intersection of the Data and Gaming teams. You'll be the analytical partner to game designers and product managers, owning the measurement and tuning of the games themselves — from difficulty and game parameters to matchmaking fairness and the in-game economy. Your work directly shapes what players experience and how the games perform.

Missions:
  • Own the A/B testing cycle for games and game parameters — designing experiments, validating changes, and reading out results that drive core KPIs (engagement, RTP, rake, fairness, retention).

  • Analyze and calibrate game parameters — difficulty, scoring, completion rates, seed selection, and payout structures — to hit target player experience and economic goals.

  • Translate analyses into clear, actionable recommendations that shape game design and the product roadmap.

  • Build simulations and prototypes to pressure-test parameter and economy changes before rollout, then monitor them live once shipped.

  • Collaborate closely with game designers and engineers to embed data-driven decisions across the full game lifecycle.

  • Build and maintain dashboards and reports that keep the Gaming and Data teams aligned on critical game and economy metrics.

Profile
  • 3+ years in analytical roles, ideally within gaming or a data-intensive product environment, comfortable working directly with product and design teams.

  • Skilled in SQL and Python; experience with large, complex datasets.

  • Strong grasp of A/B testing and statistical methods.

  • Comfortable with simulation and modeling to reason about game parameters, difficulty, and game economy outcomes.

  • Thrives in a fast-paced environment with rapid iteration.

  • Player-first mindset with genuine curiosity about games, player behavior, and game balance.

Benefits
  • Competitive salary based on experience

  • Swile Lunch voucher

  • Gymlib (100% covered by Voodoo)

  • Premium healthcare coverage with SideCare, 100% covered for you and your family

  • Wellness activities in our Paris office

  • Remote days on Fridays
