About the role:

Magic Eden is hiring a Staff Data Scientist to own the data and metrics function for Dicey, their crypto casino and sportsbook platform. In a short period of time, the team has gone from zero to one with Dicey, building the product, proving early traction, and establishing a strong foundation. Now they're scaling.

This is a high-hustle, high-grit team that values people who are both analytically sharp and able to operate with speed and autonomy. If you're energized by building in a fast-paced environment where your work directly shapes product and business decisions, this is the role for you.

Responsibilities:

📍Own the data and metrics function for Dicey's casino and/or sports product, building foundational frameworks from the ground up. 📍Define and develop key performance metrics across user growth, retention, incentive effectiveness, and revenue (GGR/NGR). 📍Build proactive risk monitoring and alerting systems to detect abuse patterns and respond to novel exploits before they scale. 📍Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and BD to translate data insights into decisions that move the business. 📍Develop rigorous accounting and metric definitions (e.g. deposit bonus NGR, affiliate payout calculations) to support business operations. 📍Work across casino and sports workstreams from rewards progression modeling to sportsbook margin analysis, adapting to business priority. 📍Present findings and recommendations clearly to cross-functional stakeholders and founders.

Requirements:

📍8+ years of experience in Data Science or Analytics, with meaningful time spent in iGaming, crypto casino, or sports betting. 📍Deep domain knowledge in casino and/or sports betting metrics — you understand GGR, NGR, hold percentage, rakeback, and what good looks like in this industry. 📍Experience building risk monitoring frameworks and proactive alerting systems for abuse or anomaly detection. 📍Advanced SQL and proficiency in Python or R; comfortable building and owning data pipelines. 📍Strong communicator who can influence product and business decisions — technical rigor alone is not enough; you need to be able to land the insight. 📍Operator mindset — you move fast, adapt to shifting priorities, and thrive in a zero-to-one environment. 📍Experience working closely with Product and Engineering teams.

Nice-to-have: 📍Prior experience as a Head of DS or DS manager, especially if you've built or scaled a data function before. 📍Background at a crypto casino (Stake, Shuffle, Rainbet, Roobet) or comparable iGaming platform.
