As a Data Analyst at Guerrilla, you will turn player and gameplay data into actionable insights that support data-informed decision-making across development teams. Working closely with designers, producers, engineers, and user research, you will investigate player behaviour, contribute to analytical approaches, and communicate insights that support game development.

What You Will Do

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Support analytics for one or more gameplay domains (e.g., progression, combat systems, economy, player onboarding), working with stakeholders to define goals, measurement approaches, and analysis plans.
  • Conduct analyses that uncover player behaviour patterns, design risks, and opportunities to improve engagement and player experience.
  • Partner with cross-disciplinary stakeholders (design, production, engineering, user research, publishing) to shape analysis from question framing through delivery and follow-up.
  • Help define success metrics by translating project goals into KPIs, standard metrics, and measurement approaches that are practical for development teams.
  • Contribute to the design and validation of gameplay telemetry and event taxonomy to ensure analytics can effectively measure player behaviour and game systems.
  • Ensure data quality and trust by monitoring data completeness, consistency, and reliability, and clearly communicating limitations when they exist.
  • Translate analyses into clear insights and recommendations that support design, production, and product decisions.
  • Support experimentation and measurement efforts for gameplay features, helping teams evaluate feature performance and player impact.

Candidates hired at the Senior level will also be expected to:

  • Own analytics initiatives for key gameplay domains and drive analytical investigations that influence development decisions.
  • Proactively identify opportunities for analysis and shape analytical roadmaps with cross-disciplinary stakeholders.
  • Lead the design and evolution of gameplay telemetry and event taxonomy.
  • Guide experimentation and measurement strategies for gameplay features.
  • Mentor and support other analysts, contributing to strong analytical practices across the team.

Who You Are

We'd love to hear from you if you have: 

  • Experience working with cross-disciplinary teams to deliver analytical insights that support decision-making.
  • Advanced SQL skills with a strong track record of working with large behavioural datasets (e.g., event streams / telemetry).
  • Strong analytical ability and quantitative reasoning (e.g., distributions, correlations, cohort analysis).
  • Experience working with stakeholders to turn ambiguous questions into well-scoped analysis and actionable insights.
  • A strong understanding of games and player behaviour.
  • Experience with data visualisation tools such as Tableau.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills.
  • Experience working with gameplay telemetry or instrumentation in complex products.
  • Experience with Python (and Jupyter notebooks) or applied ML techniques used pragmatically to solve product or game questions.

Plusses:

  • Curiosity and a habit of exploring new analytical methods or tools when appropriate.
  • Experience with A/B testing or experimental design.
  • Familiarity with version control workflows (e.g., Git) and reproducible analysis practices.

Frequently asked questions

 

Q: Does Guerrilla offer remote positions?

A: Unless stated otherwise, our vacancies are based on-site, in our studio in Amsterdam. For qualified candidates, we offer visa, permit, relocation and immigration support. Depending on role, we do offer hybrid work models allowing our employees to work from home one or more days per week.

Q: I don't have any work examples. Can I still apply for a job?
A: It's essential that you can prove to us that you have the necessary skills for the job. Rushing into an application without supplying the required materials won't leave a good impression. In general, it's a good idea to put together an excellent portfolio before you start applying for jobs.  

Q: I have no experience in the games industry. Can I still get a job with you?
A: Games industry experience is certainly a bonus, but it's not always necessary. It's important to put together an excellent portfolio that demonstrates your skills and your understanding of the game development process.  

Q: I applied for a job with you, but I haven’t heard back. What happens now?
A: We aim to respond to all applications within three weeks. Due to the volume of requests, this sometimes takes a little longer. If you have not heard from us within three weeks, your application was most likely unsuccessful.  

Q: How can I arrange a job interview with you?
A: We receive so many applications that we are only able to arrange interviews with the most suitable candidates. It's important that your application stands out from the crowd. Go ahead, impress us!  

Q: I'm considering working at Guerrilla in the future. Is it possible for me to come for a tour of the studio?
A: Because of the confidential nature of the projects that we are working on, we cannot allow visitors into the studio. The most impressive job applicants will be invited for an interview, and will have an opportunity to visit some of the development areas.  

 

Q: I'm a university student looking for a company that can help me with a (master) thesis assignment. Can we arrange a meeting to look at the different possibilities?
A:We like to help out with university level assignments when we can! However, due to time constraints and deadlines this isn't always possible. Please send a brief e-mail outlining the aims of your assignment and what input you would need from us. We'll let you know if we are able to help you.  

Q: I'm a high school student and I have to do a school assignment on media and entertainment. Can I make an appointment for an interview with one of your employees to discuss this?
A: Due to the sheer number of requests we receive, we regret that we are unable to participate in interviews with school students.  

Q: I have a great idea for a game. How can I submit it to you?
A: All of our game concepts are developed by our internal designers, in conjunction with our publishers. It is company policy not to accept game concepts from third parties.  

Q: I'm still in school and I want to get a job in games in the future. What kind of education and skills do I need to achieve this goal? Can you provide me with information on the schools that teach this discipline?
A: The skills required to work in the games industry are very broad, as there are many areas in which you can work. In development there are roles in art, animation, programming, design, and project management. Other industry roles include sales, marketing, PR, and testing. The most important thing is to get an education in subjects that you enjoy and that you are good at. Your career adviser should be able to give you guidance as to which careers are suitable for an individual with your particular skills.
