Game Mathematician for slot game design

Описания нет

• Take ownership of slot game mathematics, developing models from initial concepts through balancing, testing, and regulatory certification
• Create and fine-tune mathematical configurations for different slot formats, including reel-based, ways/Megaways, cluster pays, grid games, jackpots, and feature buy mechanics
• Define and optimize game parameters such as RTP, volatility, hit frequency, maximum win, payout distribution, and bonus contribution
• Develop and adjust reel strips, paytables, symbol distributions, free spins, multipliers, cascades, bonus features, and progressive mechanics, including multiple RTP configurations and ante bet options
• Run large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, validate theoretical and simulated RTP, and assess statistical reliability through variance analysis, confidence intervals, and convergence testing
• Prepare mathematical documentation, including PAR sheets, RTP calculations, and materials for independent testing and certification
• Contribute to the design and improvement of the internal math development and simulation framework through architectural discussions, technical reviews, and implementation
• Evaluate live game performance data, identify potential improvements, and provide mathematical recommendations for existing and upcoming releases
• Collaborate with producers, game designers, and developers to assess new mechanics, balance gameplay, and address mathematical or technical risks
• Help establish math development standards, share technical knowledge, and support the professional growth of other mathematicians

• 5+ Years of professional experience in slot game mathematics at a game provider or development studio, rather than an operator
• At least 10 commercially released slot titles, preferably including games with demonstrated market success
• Extensive knowledge of probability, combinatorics, and statistical modelling, applied to complex slot mechanics
• Ability to build complete mathematical models around defined targets, including RTP, volatility, hit rate, maximum exposure, payout distribution, and feature contribution
• Practical expertise balancing slot formats and mechanics, including Megaways, cluster pays, grid slots, bonus buys, jackpots, free spins, multipliers, and cascading features
• Strong understanding of reel and paytable configuration, bonus buy and ante bet mathematics, and multiple RTP variants
• Advanced experience in mathematical validation and high-volume simulations, including analytical RTP verification, Monte Carlo methods involving billions of spins, variance analysis, confidence intervals, and convergence assessment
• Familiarity with gaming certification standards and testing procedures, including GLI, BMM, eCOGRA, and iTech Labs, and preparation of mathematical reports and PAR sheets
• Ability to independently manage mathematical development throughout the complete game lifecycle, from initial design to final certification
• Degree in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or a related discipline; a Master's degree or above is preferred
• Previous involvement in building or improving proprietary slot math engines or simulation frameworks
• Knowledge of mathematical optimization techniques, including genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, and linear programming, for automated adjustment of reels and paytables
• Experience designing mathematical models for crash games, instant-win products, or other alternative gaming formats
• Understanding of the interaction between mathematical models, game clients, and backend systems
• Fluent English
• Strong communication skills and ability to explain complex mathematical concepts to non-mathematical colleagues
• Willingness and ability to mentor junior and mid-level mathematicians and contribute to team knowledge sharing
• Будет плюсом: proficiency in Python, C++, C#, Rust, Java, or Go; experience developing high-performance simulation software, including multithreading, performance optimization, and large-scale data processing; familiarity with Git, automated testing, code review, and software architecture principles such as modularity, well-defined interfaces, and deterministic simulation results; contributions to industry research, professional publications, conferences such as ICE, SiGMA, or G2E, or relevant technical communities

• Opportunity to contribute to innovative iGaming products and influence key technical decisions
• Work on challenging projects involving advanced game mathematics and simulation technologies
• Opportunities for professional development and career growth
• Collaboration with experienced professionals in a supportive, knowledge-sharing environment
