COMPANY DESCRIPTION
Ludia is an innovative and dynamic studio specializing in mobile game development. Based in Montreal since 2007, over 3.5 million players around the world dive into our universes every month. Our portfolio combines iconic global franchises and original creations, including Jurassic World™ Alive, Jurassic World™: The Game, Dragons: Rise of Berk, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Legends, and many more.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Are you a data-driven problem solver who wants to work at the intersection of analytics and AI? We're looking for a Game Data Analyst to join the Jurassic World:The Game production team. You'll be embedded directly alongside the product managers, and designers as  the person they turn to when they need data to make fact-based decisions. 

Our analysts don't 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 the insights that actually move the needle. If you're excited about what happens when strong analytical fundamentals meet AI-powered tooling, this role is for you.

• Maintain clear data taxonomy and documentation for the game's data models.
• Transform and refine data in dbt and Databricks to power fast, accurate reporting.
• Design and analyze A/B tests and experiments to assess causal impacts of live ops and new features.

AI-Augmented Analytics

• Use Claude Code and AI-assisted development to accelerate SQL writing, code review, and data transformation workflows.
• Help refine and maintain Databricks Genie AI agents that enable the production team to self-serve on routine analytical questions.
• Identify opportunities to apply AI tooling to reduce repetitive work and increase the team's analytical leverage.

Collaboration & Strategic Alignment

• Partner with Product, Marketing, Engineering, and Game Design to ensure business objectives are met through data-driven decisions.

• Experience with data visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or similar.
• Understanding of free-to-play game design principles, including virtual economies, microtransactions, and player engagement loops.
