Grounded in CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, we are relentless in our pursuit of better; for ourselves, our games, and our players.
About Kano
Kano is an independent gaming studio that has been building and operating live games for over 15 years. Our games have long-running player communities, mature economies, live events, web and mobile platforms, and real business complexity behind them.
We are a small, remote-first team. People here have room to make a visible impact, but that also means we need people who take ownership, learn quickly, adapt and care about whether their work actually changes decisions.

About the Role
We are hiring a Product Analytics Engineer (AI-First) to help us better understand our players, improve our games, and raise the quality of our games, marketing, and live-operations decisions across Kano. This is a hands-on analytics role working across product, games, marketing, LiveOps, technical quality, and our AWS-based data stack. This is not a dashboard-only role or a pure data engineering role.
The right person is strong with data, curious about games and product design, comfortable working in a technical analytics environment, and uses AI tools. While this is not an AI product development role, AI is core to how you will operate daily. You will use tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and emerging AI tools to accelerate analysis, write and review SQL and Python, investigate data, automate repetitive work, build analytical workflows, and increase the scope of what you can accomplish.We are looking for someone who is already actively experimenting with AI in their work and is excited by how quickly these tools are changing analytics. If you prefer traditional analytical workflows and are reluctant to incorporate AI into your day-to-day work, this role is unlikely to be a fit.
We are looking for someone who embodies being humble, hungry, and smart, meaning you take ownership, ask good questions, work well with others, and care more about finding the truth than proving yourself right. You should be comfortable with imperfect data, changing priorities, and live products where decisions need to be made with the best available evidence.

About Kano
Since inception, Kano has released twelve gaming titles (seven of which are live serviced today), with over 35 million downloads and close to $100M in sales.
