Overview

Job Description

At Hutch, we aim to make the best mobile racing games in the world. When we launch a game, that's just the start: we use player feedback and most critically data to figure out how to make each game the best it can be. There are so many opportunities to identify insights in our data that we can't keep up - and that's where you come in. As a Games Analyst, you'll primarily be figuring out what our player data means and what we should do about it. You'll be reporting on recent game performance, assessing the impact of new features - or new bugs - and contributing ideas for how to further improve the game. Hutch believes in empowering and trusting our teams. We welcome ideas for our games from all parts of the business, and applicants from all backgrounds. Requirements Some examples of the work you will be involved in: * Designing and analysing control-based experiments on in-game parameters * Analysing player data to identify problem areas or missed opportunities * Working with game designers and engineers to solve design problems * Building models to estimate performance where tracking is either missing or not possible Desired Skills & Experience Essential. * You're deeply comfortable with numbers. Your instinctive approach to any problem is to quantify it first. You always notice when news reports fail to contextualise numbers * You've got a relevant degree, or up to 2 years of experience in an analytical role. Desirable. Two is fine. None are essential * Curious - driven to discover underlying explanations of things, just for fun * Excel mastery - ever used multi-line formulae, or automated a data import/export? Great! * Perhaps you play games, and have ideas about what makes something fun * You might enjoy communicating your findings with great data visualisations * Experience in statistics, modelling, or other such generally useful techniques, is useful * You've played a game by Hutch and have some good ideas on how to improve it! Benefits Hutch is a dynamic games studio based in Central London. Founded on a wealth of traditional game development experience, blending a bunch of people who are talented and passionate about making the best free-to-play games.
