Zynga’s mission is to connect the world through games. Its vision was that gaming would become a mass market activity, and "play" would be an important verb in our daily lives. As a part of this vision, Zynga Analytics partners with studios to release and grow multiple games, while also owning the analytics stack and central tools.

Zynga’s Data Science and Analytics team uses our unique and expansive data to model and predict user behavior, making our games more personalized and more fun to play! We continually strive to better understand our players!

  • Extend support to the Player Support team to identify improvement opportunities in customer satisfaction, while optimizing for internal costs.
  • Collaborate with game analysts and product managers to better quantify the impact of PSO’s campaigns on overall game performance and find opportunities to improve VIP engagement by leveraging in-game and external synergy
  • Provide adhoc support to account managers and senior stakeholders in measuring the effectiveness of off-beat campaigns, joint collaborations, and sweepstakes
What You Bring:
  • Fluent in SQL; Intermediate experience with programming in Python
