Game Data Analyst

An independent mobile games studio based in Montreal since 2007, with over 3.5 million monthly active players worldwide and more than 500 million downloads since founding. The studio develops a portfolio of mobile titles combining globally recognized licensed franchises and original creations. Now entering an exciting new chapter as a fully independent studio, growth is driven by the passion of the team and its player communities.

Are you a data-driven problem solver who wants to work at the intersection of analytics and AI? This role is for a Game Data Analyst joining the production team of a globally recognized mobile title. You will be embedded directly alongside product managers and designers as the person they turn to when data is needed to make fact-based decisions.

Analysts on this team do not just build dashboards. They use Claude Code, Databricks Genie AI agents, and a modern lakehouse stack to move faster than a traditional analytics team — spending less time on boilerplate SQL and more time on insights that move the needle. If you are excited about what happens when strong analytical fundamentals meet AI-powered tooling, this role is for you.
