PEOPLE HUNT is hiring on behalf of iGaming client
Position: Slot Game Mathematician / Slot Balance Designer

What You’ll Do

Design, simulate, and balance slot mathematics that delight players, meet regulatory standards, and achieve commercially proven KPIs.

Responsibilities

• Devise complete mathematical models for video slots: pay-tables, feature probabilities, RTP, volatility profiles, jackpots, and max exposure limits.

• Build large-scale simulations (100M+ spins) in Python to validate models, stress-test edge cases, and generate compliance reports for labs (GLI, iTech Labs, etc.).

• Collaborate with the team to align maths with theme, core loop, and business goals; adjust parameters to hit target GGR, hit frequency, and retention curves.

• Perform competitive teardown of market-leading titles, extract insights on why they succeed, and translate findings into new concepts or balance tweaks.

• Analyse live performance data, compare against forecasted curves, and recommend tunings that optimise both player experience and operator revenue.

Requirements

• 2+ years in slot mathematics or equivalent quantitative role within released real-money or F2P slots.

• Hands-on participation in at least two commercially successful slot projects (e.g., top-ranked on SlotCatalog or GGR > $1M in the first 90 days).

• Strong command of probability theory, combinatorics, and statistical inference; ability to explain complex math to non-technical stakeholders.

• Proficiency with Python (NumPy, pandas, SciPy or similar) for simulations and data analysis.

• Working knowledge of regulatory requirements (MGA, UKGC, etc.) and responsible-gaming constraints.

• English B2+ for documentation and cross-team communication.

Nice to Have

• Experience building automated dashboards (SQL + BI tools) that track live KPI drift against model baselines.

• Familiarity with progressive jackpots, crash mechanics, or innovative reel formats (e.g., Megaways, Infinity Reels).

Engagement Model

• Part-time or contract format is acceptable, provided availability aligns with milestone reviews and critical simulation passes.
