Gaming Data Analyst Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We Are Looking for a Sr. Data Scientist, Gaming
Open World was incubated within gaming firm Loaded and is a full-service, community-minded marketing agency connecting brands and developers with gamers around the world.

Our Research & Data Analytics (R/DA) team is building the next generation of player intelligence for the gaming industry. Rather than treating research and analytics as separate disciplines, we’re integrating multiple sources of player data to create a more holistic understanding of gamers.

At the center of this effort is PlayDX, our intelligence platform that brings together behavioral data, community sentiment, qualitative and quantitative research, and advanced analytics to uncover the motivations, tensions, and connections players form with games, shaping how they discover, engage with, and stay loyal to them. This integrated approach gives publishers and studios dynamic access to player insights, helping teams anticipate player behavior, respond more quickly to the signals that matter most, and make better decisions across marketing, product, and community strategy.

Our team thrives on curiosity, analytical rigor, and a passion for gaming. We are looking for a Sr. Data Scientist to help expand our analytical capabilities and deepen the insights generated from our growing intelligence platform.
