Game analytics is quickly becoming the life blood of the modern gaming company.  Who is playing your games?  What do your players enjoy and what makes them leave and never look back?  What entices your players to spend money and grow from a minnow to a dolphin to a whale?   (What do marine animals have to do with gaming???)  At Big Blue Bubble, our Game Analysts help us answer these questions and more for our own games, driving them to success.

As a member of our team, you will be working closely with game designers, production, and others on the Business Intelligence team, creating and executing analyses and experiments to optimize the design and monetization of our games.  You’ll get hands-on experience with game analytics, data querying, experimental design, and formulating really interesting and solid questions that need to be answered.
