Description
We’re the world’s leading sports technology company, at the intersection between sports, media, and betting.
As a Game Mathematician, you will play a key role in designing, validating and optimizing the mathematical models behind our casino games, ensuring engaging gameplay, robust probability logic, compliant RTP structures and commercially successful game mechanics.
Responsibilities:
- Design and develop mathematical models for casino games, including slots, instant-win games, crash-style games, plinko-style products, roulette-inspired mechanics, number games and other RNG-based gaming experiences;
- Create, test and document probability models, payout structures, volatility profiles, RTP configurations and game simulations to support product development and certification readiness;
- Partner with Product Managers and Game Designers to translate game concepts into mathematically sound mechanics that balance player engagement, commercial objectives and regulatory requirements;
- Run simulations, analyze outcomes and validate game performance against expected probability distributions, hit frequency, variance, maximum exposure and target RTP;
- Prepare clear mathematical specifications and supporting documentation for Engineering, QA, Compliance and external certification partners;
- Collaborate closely with Engineering and QA to ensure the correct implementation, testing and verification of game math logic in production-ready casino games;
- Analyze game and player performance data after launch and recommend improvements to mechanics, balancing, volatility, retention and monetization;
- Contribute to Playradar’s Casino Games roadmap by identifying mathematical opportunities for new mechanics, differentiated game experiences and scalable game templates;
- Operate as a proficient individual contributor, taking ownership of assigned game math workstreams, solving complex but defined problems independently and escalating risks with clear recommendations.
Requirements:
- 3+ years of relevant experience in game mathematics, probability modelling, statistical analysis, data science, applied mathematics or a comparable analytical role, ideally within casino gaming, iGaming, online games or digital entertainment;
- Strong understanding of probability theory, combinatorics, statistics, simulations, variance, RTP, hit frequency and payout modelling for RNG-based games;
- Ability to develop, validate and clearly document mathematical models for casino games with limited supervision;
- Commercial experience in designing, developing, and maintaining Java-based applications in production environments.
- Experience with analytical tools and programming or scripting languages such as Python, R, SQL, Excel/VBA, MATLAB or similar tools used for simulations and statistical modelling;
- Good understanding of casino game mechanics, including slots, table games, crash games, instant games, plinko-style mechanics, lottery or number games, and how mathematical models influence player experience;
- Strong analytical judgement with the ability to identify risks, validate assumptions and explain complex mathematical concepts to non-technical stakeholders;
- Collaborative working style with the ability to partner effectively across Product, Game Design, Engineering, QA, Compliance and Commercial teams;
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving product environment where priorities evolve and pragmatic, high-quality solutions are needed;
- Experience with certification processes, regulated gaming environments, responsible gambling considerations or jurisdiction-specific RTP requirements is an advantage;
- Fluent written and spoken English, with the ability to produce clear specifications, analysis summaries and stakeholder-ready explanations.
Nice to Have:
- Hands-on experience creating math models for certified real-money casino games;
- Knowledge of market-specific gaming regulations, lab certification requirements or game math approval processes;
- Experience with sports-themed or branded casino games, including products that combine sports content with casino-style mechanics;
- Interest in innovation, prototyping and building scalable mathematical frameworks for a growing casino games portfolio.
Our Offer:
- Shape the mathematical foundations of one of the most exciting and fastest-growing portfolios in sports entertainment, casino gaming and iGaming.
- Create game math models that directly influence player experience, product performance and the commercial success of casino games played by audiences worldwide.
- Collaborate with talented colleagues across Product, Game Design, Engineering, QA, Compliance and Commercial teams in a highly collaborative international environment.
- Take ownership of mathematical models, simulations and balancing decisions for an expanding portfolio of innovative casino gaming experiences.
- A challenging, rewarding and analytical environment where your expertise has a direct impact on products used around the globe.
- Competitive salary and attractive benefits package.
- Individual learning and professional development opportunities.
- A vibrant, inclusive company culture with global collaboration and diverse communities.
- Corporate fitness activities and additional employee wellbeing programs.
