Senior Data Scientist

Job Description

Would you like to play a key part in Toca Boca’s Data & Research engine? With over 60 million monthly active users and terabytes of daily data, as a Senior Data Scientist, you will play an integral role in understanding how kids and families engage with our play ecosystem, directly shaping fantastic, safe, and imaginative play experiences.

At Toca Boca, we don’t lock you into narrow corporate silos or endless maintenance tasks. As a Senior Data Scientist, you will enjoy broad end-to-end ownership across the entire product lifecycle—from exploratory data science, advanced modeling, and experimentation to product strategy and monetization dynamics.

You’ll join our Data & Analytics team while partnering seamlessly with our User Research team under a unified Insights banner. Together, we blend big data behavioral telemetry with qualitative player research, working closely with cross-functional game teams to unlock the full value of our play ecosystem.

What you’ll be doing

• Uncover Deep Player Insights: Analyze complex player datasets to understand behavioral patterns, feature engagement, and retention drivers across our games, informing overall product and commerce strategy.
• Apply Advanced Statistical Methods: Apply statistical models, regression analysis, predictive segmentation, and experimental methods (A/B testing) to optimize product performance at scale.
• Bridge Quantitative & Qualitative Insights: Partner seamlessly with our User Research team under a unified Insights banner, connecting the "what" (big data trends) with the "why" (qualitative research) to deliver a 360-degree understanding of our players.
• End-to-End Ownership & Influence: Take full ownership of complex, ambiguous game product questions. Partner directly with PMs, Designers, and Engineers to translate complex datasets into clear, data-backed recommendations.
• Innovate & Evolve Workflows: Continuously refine our analytics capabilities by leveraging modern data science workflows, predictive modeling, and AI tools to accelerate discovery and analysis.

What Success Looks Like

• Trusted Co-pilot: You become a trusted analytical partner to game teams, shaping product decisions through rigorous data science, experimentation, and player empathy.
• Broad Impact: You thrive with the freedom to influence multiple product areas—from core play loops and feature design to commerce and top-of-funnel engagement—without being pigeonholed.
• Holistic Insights: You successfully bridge quantitative behavioral data with qualitative user research to create unified narratives that inspire game design.
• Autonomy & Momentum: You help teams move quickly by surfacing key facts, reducing ambiguity, and solving open-ended problems that don't have predefined playbooks.
