At King, we’re always interested in connecting with talented people across AI, Machine Learning, Data Science and Analytics who are passionate about using data and technology to create better experiences for millions of players. Whether you’re an Associate, Mid-level, Senior, Principal or Lead Data Scientist, AI/ML Engineer, Research Engineer or Product Analyst, we’d love to hear from you.

If your background aligns with a role, a member of our Talent Acquisition team will get in touch to discuss it with you. What We’re Typically Looking For Our teams work across areas including applied AI research, player behaviour modelling, personalisation, recommendations, experimentation, decision automation, game and product analytics, content optimisation, forecasting and production ML systems. While every role requires a different combination of skills, we often look for people with experience in: * Applying data science, machine learning, statistics or analytics to solve player, product or business challenges. * Developing models, experiments, analyses or data products that improve player experience, personalisation, content, decision-making or business performance. * Taking work from exploration and prototyping through to implementation, production or measurable product impact. * Building or working with reliable data and ML pipelines, evaluation approaches and scalable systems. * Bringing expertise in one or more areas such as machine learning, experimentation, causal inference, statistical modelling, optimisation, deep learning, reinforcement learning, generative AI or data visualisation. * Using relevant tools and technologies for your field. Depending on the role, these might include Python, SQL, Spark, PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, cloud platforms, dashboards, experimentation platforms or ML pipelines. We don’t expect candidates to have experience with all of these. * Collaborating with Engineering, Product, Game Design, UX and other disciplines to turn opportunities into practical, player-focused solutions. * Communicating complex ideas clearly through analysis, documentation, model evaluations, prototypes, dashboards or presentations. We welcome people from both academia and industry; from PhD students and early-career professionals to experienced specialists and technical leaders. Your experience might come from gaming, consumer technology, entertainment, e-commerce, fintech, advertising, research or another data-rich environment. What matters most is your curiosity, collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for solving complex problems and delivering meaningful impact. Why King? At King, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to games and experiences enjoyed by millions of players around the world. You could work with large-scale data, explore emerging technologies, help bring models into production or use analytics to inform decisions that directly affect our players. Our AI/ML, Data Science and Analytics teams work in collaborative, cross-functional environments where curiosity, experimentation, technical excellence and practical impact are encouraged. Whether you’re passionate about applied AI research, ML engineering, product analytics, experimentation or scalable ML systems, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution while continuing to develop your craft. *Interested?* Submit your profile to our Talent Pool!
