Role
Who you are
- Required: A Master’s degree in progress in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, or a related quantitative field
- Technical Data Proficiency: You have experience in SQL for querying, wrangling, and optimizing large datasets, including Common Table Expressions (CTEs) and window functions; you have proficiency in data analysis and scripting using Python for data wrangling, modeling, and reporting
- An Interest in Analytics Engineering: You have a desire to build scalable data infrastructure and "single sources of truth" that remain stable as systems evolve
- Visualization Skills: You are interested in designing high-impact, user-friendly dashboards, and data stories using BI software such as Tableau, Looker, or similar tools
- A Commitment to Clarity: You provide clarity through all your work products: your code, your documentation, your project plans, your visualizations, your presentations, and your tactical recommendations
- A Systematic & Efficient Mindset: You don’t like to solve the same problem twice, and you are always on the lookout for reusable solutions. You create well-documented systems and procedures rather than approaching each new problem in isolation
- Intellectual Curiosity & Skepticism: With a new dataset or business question, you are driven to explore relationships and constantly ask yourself why a particular result is occurring

Our take
Online gaming may be a well-established space, but Roblox has distinguished itself as a leader by empowering its community to build, share, and profit from their own creations, turning game development into an accessible, rewarding ecosystem for millions of users.
In addition to standard games, the platform offers virtual worlds and other experiences to explore and interact with. Its platform provides an online ecosystem for millions to create, socialize, chat, and explore immersive experiences with friends. In fact, in the US its used by two-thirds of children aged 9 to 12.
While the platform does face scrutiny over users safety (particularly given its young audience) the company's efforts to strengthen parental controls and open dialogue through initiatives like its new Parents Council signal a growing commitment to addressing these challenges. At the same time, its financial performance and creator-focused investments underscore a business in very strong health. With record payouts to developers, an expanding older player base, and a platform that increasingly rewards creative talent, Roblox's trajectory remains one of innovation and impressive growth.
