  • Strong understanding of applied mathematics, probability theory, statistics, and analytical modeling.
  • Experience creating software-based mathematical tools using languages such as Python, JavaScript, or similar.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including the ability to create complex models and automate calculations.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with a structured, data-driven approach to decision-making.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to produce clear technical documentation.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and explain mathematical concepts to non-specialists.
  • Experience with regulated iGaming environments, RTP certification, jackpot mechanics, volatility modeling, game engine integration, or software development workflows is considered an advantage.

Benefits

  • Fully remote working environment.
  • Opportunity to contribute to innovative gaming products and complex mathematical challenges.
  • Collaborative culture focused on creativity, technical excellence, and continuous improvement.
  • Exposure to multidisciplinary teams across game design, engineering, and product development.
  • Opportunity for professional growth within a technology-driven environment.
