Lead Data Scientist - Battlefield, Data and Insights (D&I)

We're hiring a Lead Data Scientist to join our Data & Insights (D&I) Data Science team. The Data Science team partners with EA studios to build scalable AI/ML solutions that enhance player experience, game design, and live service performance.

You will bring expertise in the area of AI, ML, and engineering. You will also lead efforts related to life cycle management, progression, in-game economies, and player experience, specifically, within the Battlefield franchise.

Key responsibilities include:

• Working directly with Battlefield game team/partners to understand their offerings/domain and create data science products and solutions to solve for their use cases.

• Applying problem-driven, AI/ML approaches to improve player experience, engagement, retention, and monetization systems.

• Developing plans to generalize products across the franchise with our engineering partners.

• Establishing rigorous experimental design standards (A/B testing, causal inference, system experimentation) to produce actionable insights.

• Collaborating with engineering partners to productionize models within live environments and gameplay systems.

• Designing and enhancing data pipelines that process petabyte-scale telemetry data using technologies such as AWS, S3, Kubernetes, GCP, Python, Apache Kafka, and Hive.

• Developing algorithms and statistical models for forecasting, player state prediction, churn analysis, progression balancing, and economic system tuning.

• Communicating complex analytical concepts to technical and non-technical partners, influencing strategic decisions.

• Mentoring other data scientists and contributing to shared best practices across the D&I organization.
