Senior Game Mathematician

Description

We’re looking for a Senior Game Mathematician — someone who sees patterns where others see chaos, and who understands that behind every “big win” there’s elegant math. You’ll shape the core of our games: design math models, define volatility and player experience, and turn ideas into numbers that actually feel right.

We’re a team of people who left safe jobs to build something better. No bureaucracy, no pointless meetings — just sharp minds building games that stand out.

🎲 What you’ll do Design and develop math models for slot games — from raw concept to release; Prototype and simulate gameplay mechanics to test balance, volatility, hit rates, and potential; Reverse-engineer competitors’ math to understand and improve on the best mechanics in the market; Collaborate with producers and developers to bring your math to life — ensuring technical and creative integrity; Run simulations, build reports, and validate results in Excel or via your own scripts/tools; Prepare clear documentation for internal reviews, certification, and release; Analyze performance data of live games, providing actionable insights for tweaks and next iterations.

🧠 What you bring 3+ years of experience in slot game math design (or similar gambling / probability-based products); Advanced Excel and solid programming/scripting knowledge (Python, R, or similar); Deep understanding of RTP, volatility, hit frequency, max exposure, feature math, and player behavior; Obsessive attention to detail — and ability to explain complex systems clearly; Collaborative mindset: you enjoy working with creative and technical people to make something that just feels good; Fluent English.

💎 Nice to have Experience with internal math simulators or your own simulation tools; Familiarity with regulatory / certification requirements for game math; Curiosity for game design and player psychology — not just numbers.

🎁 Benefits 21 vacation days + 5 extra day-offs annually; 12 paid sick days; Fully remote format — work from anywhere you feel productive; Flexible schedule: start your day anytime between 08:00–12:00 CET; Fixed budget for health insurance and gym/fitness; Provided all required work equipment; Zero bureaucracy and direct communication with founders and C-level; Minimal meetings, async-friendly workflow; Startup energy: fast motion, creativity, and tight-knit communication; Business trips and team meetups several times per year; Multiple salary payout options (flexible formats); …And many more perks unlocked after we hit break-even.
