Mobile-first game publisher with live-ops platform and AI-driven player analytics
Scopely operates a diversified portfolio of live-service games (including MONOPOLY GO!, Stumble Guys, Star Trek Fleet Command, and others) backed by Playgami, a proprietary platform for live-ops and player analytics. The tech stack—BigQuery, dbt, Snowflake, Looker, and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Seldon Core)—is optimized for real-time game economy modeling and retention prediction, and the company is now actively adopting ChatGPT and Gemini, suggesting AI integration into content generation or player engagement workflows. Engineering hiring dominates the active roles (106 of 383), with senior-level positions concentrated in that function, indicating sustained scaling of backend and data infrastructure to handle high concurrency and live-ops complexity.
Notable leadership hires: QA Director, Creative Lead, Production Director, Marketing Director, UX Director
Scopely is a global video game publisher headquartered in Culver City, California, with operations across North America, Central America, EMEA, and Asia. The company develops and live-operates multiplayer and casual games across mobile, web, PC, and console platforms, with a focus on free-to-play models and live-service monetization. Core franchises include MONOPOLY GO!, Stumble Guys, Star Trek Fleet Command, MARVEL Strike Force, WWE Champions, and Yahtzee With Buddies. Scopely operates on a directed-by-consumer model, meaning player feedback and behavioral data directly shape game updates, events, and economy balancing. The Playgami platform underpins live-ops orchestration, player segmentation, and A/B testing across the portfolio. Scopely was acquired by Savvy Games Group in July 2023 and operates as an independent subsidiary.
Scopely's data and analytics stack centers on BigQuery, Snowflake, dbt, and Looker for game economy and player analytics. The company uses Apache Airflow for orchestration, Java and C# for backend services, and Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Seldon Core for ML-driven player retention and monetization modeling.
Active projects include MONOPOLY GO!, live-ops events and engagement systems, Bingo Bash evolution, unannounced AAA mobile and strategy/MMO titles, content pipeline development, and mini-game experiences. The company is focused on gameplay mechanics around resource generation, spending, time-gating, and power progression.
