Do you ever find yourself thinking about what keeps players hooked? Not just the gameplay, but the math, systems, and balance that power the entire experience? If that sounds like you, we've got a role you'll love.
We're looking for a Gaming Mathematician who thrives at the crossroads of data science, game design, and player psychology. In this role, you'll go beyond crunching numbers, you'll build models, guide game systems, and influence how millions of players engage with the experience.
What You'll Be Working On- Dive into gameplay data to uncover trends, opportunities, and unexpected patterns
- Model and fine-tune in-game economies and systems that impact player retention, engagement, and monetization
- Configure internal tools for player segmentation, live ops, campaign management, and feature launches
- Translate data into strategic insights for game designers, product managers, and senior stakeholders
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to enhance monetization, growth, and player satisfaction
- Keep a close eye on product metrics and make data-driven recommendations that move the needle
- A degree in Math, Statistics, Engineering, Economics, or another quantitative field
- 5+ years of experience in systems design, game economy modeling, or data strategy, ideally in the gaming or tech space
- A knack for working with large datasets and turning complexity into clarity
- Strong communication skills: you can tell a compelling story with data
- Highly self-driven, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
- Bonus points if you're a gamer at heart and understand how mechanics influence behavior
Behind every great game is a system that feels effortless, balanced, engaging, and just the right amount of challenging. That's no accident. It's driven by thoughtful design and smart data. That's where you come in.
You'll have a direct impact on how the game evolves, how players stay engaged, and how the business grows. It's high-impact work with room to innovate and lead.
