What's IndieBI?

IndieBI is a first-of-its-kind business data aggregation and analytics platform for PC and Console video games. 

It provides games studios with a suite of tools - desktop app, data visuals, insight reports - to help understand their sales and marketing information, to analyze it for valuable trends and patterns, and to provide them with actionable advice to optimize their sales and revenue. 

IndieBI helps studios and publishers run smarter businesses. It helps them sell more games. And it's never been done before.

Okay then, what's the job?

At IndieBI we are building business intelligence tools to help developers and publishers of PC and Console games manage their commercial operations more efficiently. IndieBI is still in beta, but we have a growing community of 300+ games companies utilizing the software. Additionally, we are also building the dedicated account management team that provides exclusive high-profile service, tailored to the different needs of video game developers and publishers.

You match the role if:

• Have a strong background in data science, machine learning, with a focus on predictive modeling and data-driven solutions.

• Are proficient in Python, SQL and Polars/Pandas for data manipulation, processing, analysis and development of data-driven apps. 

• Have hands-on experience with Data Science libraries and ML frameworks, such as NumPy, Scitkit-learn, Prophet, Keras, etc.  and skills in model development, deployment, and optimization.

• Are skilled with cloud solutions, preferably Azure (including AzureML).

• Are experienced in deploying APIs and web applications using tools and frameworks such as Streamlit and FastAPI, especially for internal use.

• Are familiar with version control practices using Git.

• Have a research experience and research-oriented mindset, capable of exploring new methods, tools, or models.

• Communicate complex insights clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Present a positive approach to problem-solving and learning new concepts in a constantly evolving work environment.

• Have outstanding communication skills in English (both spoken and written);
  

It's a plus if:

• Have a basic knowledge of scraping process, tools and libraries.

• Have experience with Databricks, Spark and Neural Networks. 

• Have worked in an agile environment, collaborating with cross-functional teams.

• Have passion for and understanding of the gaming industry.

• Have knowledge of various online game distribution platforms for both PC and consoles.

We appreciate that it's impossible to be a specialist in everything! We do, however, expect that by relying on your skills and experience, you'll be able to fearlessly navigate through your daily tasks, assessing which problems you can tackle on your own and which require the help of your colleagues. We hope that you won't be afraid to take up challenges but also won't hesitate to ask questions! 

We will want you to:

• Design, implement, and optimize predictive models and machine learning algorithms tailored to client-specific use cases.

• Analyze game sales and market data collected from clients by our software and provide actionable insights to support decision-making for both internal teams and clients.

• Build and deploy data-driven applications, tools and scripts to support our client-oriented consulting operations and sales funnel.

• Expand early prototypes and research notebooks into mature data tools that can be used by business analysts.

• Collaborate with data engineering and infrastructure teams to manage and expand a central data platform.

• Document data processing workflows, model details, and software solutions to ensure knowledge sharing and reproducibility.

• Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve model performance in production environments to meet client requirements.

• Communicate findings, challenges, and project updates effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

In return we're offering:

• Full time job from any place in the world with whatever type of contract suits you best (but it's a major plus if your time zone is not too far from Europe);

• Competitive salary adjusted according to your experience and location (19-25k net + VAT on a B2B contract for people based in Poland);

• A meaningful stock option plan to reflect your responsibilities and substantial contribution to the project;

• Paid bank holidays, sick leave, 26 days of vacations, no matter the type of contract;

• A growing assortment of useful benefits - reimbursements for home office workstations and peripherals, training budgets, private healthcare subsidies, weekly in-house training sessions, monthly hackdays to flex a different set of creative muscles;

• Remote-first work environment - we have a (quite fancy!) headquarters in Poland but we live our work lives online, including in-house workshops and trainings, teambuilding, and board games;

• A team of creative friends from the cross section of video games, startup development, and data analytics;

• An exciting startup project in one of the most vibrant industries in the world, in direct contact with people making amazing games;

• A cozy head office in Łódź with tons of fruits, chocolate, coffee and awesome, cloud-like swings.

We hire people, not resources. We have flexible working hours so you can balance your lifestyle requirements with your work responsibilities. We're trusting you with your own time management, relying on your work being fun and exciting to keep you motivated, and expecting your experience and professionalism to define your relationship with our clients and the rest of the team.

We especially encourage marginalized groups and people from underserved backgrounds, genders, and locations to apply. 

So what do you do exactly?

We automatically grab data from all of the most relevant sales platforms, we normalize it, process it a little and present our users with neat interactive dashboards and advisory tools. This enables the game developers and publishers to build better intuition, evaluate their performance and ultimately leads the to make better decisions.

It's all built on our own personal experience - we started IndieBI to answer a dire need for tools like that at our own gamedev studio and through our work helping other studios. We've seen the early versions of IndieBI improve the revenue of our partners and ourselves by hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. 

IndieBI has helped us tremendously, and we've since been able to share it with over a hundred other studios, funds, and publishers - including the likes of:

We already have hundreds of customers using our product and a couple dozens more asking to join our beta.

We've since grown our ranks to 45+ amazing people structured in cross-functional teams.

From where we're standing, the future sure seems really exciting.

And this is where you come in.

Okay! Where do I click?

Can I get a bit more backstory, please?

IndieBI is a sales intelligence platform created to help developers and video game studios know their playground a little bit better. Those folks are often pretty busy doing what they really love - making video games - and we're here to help them deal with the busywork of actually selling the games after they're made.

We developed IndieBI at our video games studio in order to track our own game sales on every platform, and make smart decisions based on the data we gathered. Over time, we quietly shared it with other developers, and the response was overwhelmingly positive - so we’ve now raised funds, spun it out into its own company, and are scaling up aggresively. IndieBI currently has 45+ people working on data, product, analysis, and business development and we’re steadily making more full time hires to round out the teams.

The insights and advice our small team of analysts were able to supply for our studio and our early beta partners have already more than paid for the development of the platform. Sales optimization and better operations can really make a difference for successful games - to the tune of millions of dollars of additional revenue for some of our current partners. Still, we believe IndieBI can truly flourish faster and become a universal, ubiquitous tool for the entire industry if it's properly independent - which is why we've spun it out of our studio and raised $3M in initial funding from a wide circle of individual industry investors to cover a couple of years of runway.

We've already achieved pretty amazing things (we can tell you all about them in a meeting), but we're ready for so much more. Now, with your help, we'll be able to scale and build cool stuff faster, and make studios smarter across the entire games industry!

Who's in the team already?

IndieBI is built by an engineering- and analytics-heavy team of 45+ friendly and creative people. Our team mostly originates from Blue Brick, a software development company Tom, one of IndieBI's founders, set up in a previous life. The HQ is in Lodz, Poland, so of course most of the company is Polish, but we use English in Teams, meetings, documents and emails.

We're generally working around the Polish time zone, but we are used to working with teammates distributed all the over the world. Our clients are all over the place too - already spanning most of the populated time zones. 

And in terms of IndieBI's founders:

Tom (CEO) for the past several years has been running the business side of SUPERHOT. Recently, he’s spent most of his time getting people excited about data and business intelligence.

Callum (CSO) is most known for his work at Kowloon Nights, Raw Fury, and Oculus, where he spent the last few years working with game developers around the world. He's since scaled up Robot Teddy - his own boutique consultancy, where he and his team help game developers like Bone Loaf, Innersloth, or SUPERHOT run better and smarter businesses.

With IndieBI, they decided to create a stable, fun, and impactful company to solve a problem they've seen affect so many of their industry friends and partners. Too much was being done on gut-feel and by following others, and not enough done with all context and knowledge required. Now they're hoping IndieBI will be able to change all that - to fundamentally improve the way in which developers and publishers operate in the games industry. 

The geese in the photo are not the founders. They are just geese. 

Okay but also...

1. What's the level of experience necessary?
   

   Pretty high. You're expected to be a smart and experienced colleague that the team can always go to and ask for an advice or a hint of inspiration.
   At the same time, we appreciate that every project is different and there are times when you're pushed to learn a bunch of new things in shorter time, so the years of experience aren't the main factor we focus on. 

2. I have my concerns - what makes you special?
   

   Firstly - we think we’re probably the only team and company able to pull off something of this magnitude. Tom and Callum have spent years working with developers and platforms in the games industry and earning their trust. It would be very difficult to encourage companies to upload their entire sales history platform to your database without having long histories of successful working relationships. 

   Secondly - we have a kickass group of individual investors giving us advice and kicking open doors for us. We aren’t in Silicon Valley, and don’t want to be, but there is definitely something exciting about a startup doing something that no one else is!
   

3. I figured I work better from home and I can work only remotely - how do you feel about it?
   
   We fully support you in doing everything to make you feel comfortable and simply happy, so we wouldn't expect you to join us in the office now or in the future. We'll be delighted to meet you face to face when you feel like it, but at the same time we will help you make your home the best workplace possible. :)
