- Analyzing player data and feedback to iterate on content and improve engagement

Please attach a cover letter to your application telling us a bit about yourself, the games you like, and how you think you'd fit with us in this role.
We ask that you do not use ChatGPT or other LLMs to write this letter. We know writing isn't everyone's strong suit, and that's okay. We'd just like to get to know you
