Working with the Global Analytics and Insights team. Data is at the heart of what we (Segmatic & 2K Analytics) do. We consider ourselves to be the most rigorous, numerate & data-driven evangelists in the company & industry. This team covers all aspects of Data Engineering, Business Intelligence and Data Science for the organisation worldwide. It is dual located between San Francisco & Dublin.
At the heart of this ambitious outlook is our Data Science Team. From performance analytics to predictive modelling, we consistently aim to put numbers behind the decisions we make. The successful candidate will be a core member of this team, and will be given the opportunity to develop original and innovative solutions to the wide range of challenging problems that stand between 2K gaming and world domination.

Key Responsibilities:
Each week in 2K a myriad of problems will come across your desk. Equipped with a logical mind-set, a wide range of technical skills and a firm focus, you will be encouraged to solve these problems and thereby improve the performance of the company as a whole.
The approach to solving these problems are split into 3 distinct types of tasks:
- Day-to-Day Data Analysis: The successful candidate will regularly work with a range of different stakeholders to help them better understand the game performance. This process often involves utilising existing data-sets and developing reports to solve pressing business problems.
- Advanced Data Analytics: Certain problems require in-depth thought & time to solve. The successful candidate will often deep-dive into specific significant problems which require multiple weeks to resolve. This process often involves sourcing a diverse range of weird and wonderful data-sets, and developing techniques to easily access the valuable insight hidden therein.
- Predictive Modelling: Certain problems require long-term solutions. When these are identified, development of a predictive model is commissioned and worked on. These projects often take multiple months to complete. The successful candidate is likely to be tasked with building models which predicts specific aspects of customer behaviour.
