Data Analyst
We are seeking a high-caliber Data Analyst to leverage advanced SQL, Python, and statistical modeling to analyze behavioral patterns and design robust risk-scoring frameworks. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of gaming and cybersecurity, building automated toolchains that close the loop between data telemetry and fraud mitigation.
Essential functions
- Own fraud monitoring: design, build, and iterate dashboards.
- Run the reviews: perform scheduled reads of dashboards, triage anomalies, and flag emerging farming/cheat strategies not covered by current models.
- Report the intel: publish periodic anti-fraud reports with executive summaries.
- Validate patterns: deep-dive game telemetry to confirm suspected patterns and identify data signatures that distinguish them.
- Label at scale: conduct large-batch manual user reviews, deliver clean, reliable datasets for model training.
- Size the risk: estimate affected populations, economy, and severity; propose containment/mitigation priorities.
- Investigate incidents: handle false-positive appeals and external allegations; document findings, and recommend policy/model/data fixes.
Qualifications
- Advanced SQL Proficiency: Demonstrated expertise in writing complex queries, including joins, window functions, Common Table Expressions (CTEs), and aggregations, with a strong focus on query optimization.
- Data Analysis Programming: Professional experience using Python (preferred) or R for data analysis, automation, and manipulation using libraries such as Pandas and NumPy.
- Statistical & Analytical Expertise: Solid foundation in Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), statistical inference, probability distributions, and hypothesis testing.
- Data Visualization: Hands-on experience building dashboards and reports using Tableau, Dash, or Plotly, as well as Python-based visualization libraries like Matplotlib or Seaborn.
- Data Infrastructure: Experience working with cloud data warehouses such as BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, or PostgreSQL.
- Technical Workflow: Proficiency in version control systems, specifically Git, GitHub, or GitLab, and experience using Jupyter Notebooks for exploratory work.
- Pattern Recognition: Practical experience in anomaly detection, outlier identification, and behavioral pattern analysis.
- Fraud Investigation Frameworks: Familiarity with event/telemetry data analysis, manual dataset preparation, and the development of risk-scoring frameworks.
- Clear executive writing and cross‑functional communication.
