• Analyze market performance data to identify trends and inform future game mechanics

• Ensure math designs meet jurisdictional requirements and industry standards

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in mathematical modeling, game math, casino game math, or similar quantitative work

• Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or related field

• Strong foundation in probability, statistics, and combinatorics

• Advanced Excel skills for modeling and analysis
