  • Player protection KPIs and monitoring: Define and maintain indicators that reflect the health of the player-protection ecosystem. Develop real-time visualizations to monitor abuse trends, system effectiveness and bad-actor behavior.
  • Tooling and visualization: Build dashboards that surface actionable information for internal stakeholders. Support leadership decision-making by translating complex threats into clear strategic implications for the game.
  • Abuse intelligence and analysis: Examine abuse patterns in competitive play, monetization and account areas. Use data from multiple ecosystems to discover emerging threats and assess their impact on players.
  • Innovation and research: Stay current on industry trends in anomaly detection, behavioral analysis and game data science. Propose new approaches and technologies to strengthen player-protection strategies.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Master’s degree in data science/analytics, computer science, statistics or a related field.
  • 3+ years of data-analysis experience, ideally in games, fraud detection or cybersecurity.
  • Proficiency in Python, SQL and data visualization tools.
