  • Analyse player behaviour and game performance to identify improvements and optimisation opportunities
  • Support balancing and tuning of games during development and after launch
  • Present complex mathematical concepts clearly to non‑technical teams
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to process and tool improvements
About You
  • 5+ years of experience in slot game mathematics within a reputable, high‑quality gaming studio
  • Strong proficiency in probability, statistics, combinatorics, random processes, and applied mathematics
  • Skilled in simulation and modelling tools such as Python, R, Excel, MATLAB, or similar
  • Deep understanding of US slot market expectations, mechanics, and regulatory constraints
  • Ability to translate creative concepts into mathematically sound, commercially viable game models
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
