Data Scientist

Role overview

This onsite Data Scientist position is based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and sits within the Fextralife team at Valnet. Fextralife is a major gaming wiki and community platform that supports millions of players each month with information such as character builds, item databases, and loot tables. The editorial and discovery functions operate at scale, and this role is designed for someone who can use data to make the content strategy smarter and more effective.

The position is strongly focused on analysis and delivery. You will work closely with the Brand Operator to spot the biggest opportunities for content growth, review and assess pitches from the discovery-oriented team, and create the data systems that inform strategic decisions. Your work will have a direct influence on which wikis are created, how audience growth is driven, and where team effort is invested.

Key responsibilities

• Review traffic, search, and engagement metrics to uncover high-value opportunities for new wiki pages and content prioritization.
• Create and support dashboards and reporting tools that give the team a clear view of performance and growth trends.
• Design new AI-based analytical agents and tools that speed up decision-making and improve accuracy.
• Apply SEO and audience data from tools such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console to shape content strategy.
• Translate complex findings into practical priorities that guide the team’s direction.
• Evaluate and manage pitches from the Google Discover-focused team using data-led methods to estimate impact.
• Continuously improve reporting, analysis workflows, and tooling in response to feedback and changing business needs.

Requirements

• Between 1 and 5 years of experience in data science, business intelligence, or another analytical role.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools to speed up or improve analytical workflows.
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear newsletters and reports for an audience.
• Ability to build and deploy analytical agents and reports, not just carry out one-time analyses.
• Comfort working in uncertain situations and adapting to changing priorities in a fast-moving digital media environment.
• Strong execution mindset with a focus on measurable results.
• Experience in gaming, digital media, growth, or other performance-driven environments is preferred but not mandatory.

Perks and benefits

• Comprehensive health coverage that includes medical, dental, and vision care.
• Daily lunches, snacks, and coffee provided at the office.
• Reimbursement support for a fitness subscription.
• Competitive pay package with a bonus component.
