Lead Data Scientist

As a Lead Data Scientist, you will combine hands-on expertise, technical leadership, and product thinking to drive the development of scalable ML solutions.

You will play a key role in:

• Ensuring what we build drives business value
• Defining how we build (processes, standards, scalability, performance)

This role requires close collaboration with product and business stakeholders to translate complex problems into practical, high-impact solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Work closely with product and business teams to:
• Translate business problems into data science solutions or data analytics researches
• Define clear success metrics and KPIs
• Turn insights into actionable recommendations that impact revenue and player behavior
• Ensure all models and analyses are aligned with real business outcomes, not just technical performance
• Design, build, and deploy ML models (e.g., churn prediction, LTV forecasting, revenue uplift, player segmentation) from experimentation to production.
• Define and implement standardized, scalable DS/DA processes across the team:
• Model development lifecycle (design validation production)
• Code quality, documentation, and reproducibility
• Experimentation and evaluation frameworks
• Continuously improve delivery efficiency, reducing time from idea production
• Identify opportunities to automate manual analytical workflows using AI/ML, * 25 vacation days + 15 sick days + 1 birthday leave.
• Budget for English classes.
• Budget for health insurance.
• Annual education & development budget.
• Remote-friendly culture with a small, dedicated team.

Do you have experience in Tableau?, Do you have a Master’s degree?, * Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, or a related quantitative field.

• 5+ years of experience as a Data Scientist, preferably in the gaming or tech industry.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset; ability to find the story in the data: uncovering trends and explaining them in clear business terms.
• Experience working with large datasets and distributed computing tools (BigQuery, Spark, Hive, or similar).
• Strong hands-on experience with SQL for complex queries and data wrangling.
• Solid data visualization skills (Tableau/Power BI, Python)
• Advanced skills in Python for data analysis.
• Solid understanding of experimental design and statistical testing (A/B testing, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals).
• Familiarity with causal inference techniques (e.g., Propensity Score Matching, Instrumental Variables, Difference-in-Differences, uplift modeling), and predictive modeling techniques.
• English B2+

Will be a plus:

• Knowledge of the iGaming industry or understanding of slot game mechanics
• Ability to look at games from players’ point of view
• Product mindset: the ability to go beyond numbers and propose actionable solutions that make an impact.
