Game Mathematician III
IGT is looking for a Game Mathematician to join the team in delivering the next generation of digital casino and lottery products for a worldwide audience. Game Mathematicians within the Specialty product line work on both adapting existing slot machine mathematics for Specialty lottery markets and creating mathematics for new game concepts.
The role involves converting and enhancing proven casino game mathematics to meet the requirements of new jurisdictions and products, while also designing mathematical models from the ground up based on mathematical briefs and Game Designer vision. This position requires strong mathematical and technical skills, a high level of attention to detail, and the ability to work independently as well as collaboratively with cross-functional teams.
Game Mathematicians are also responsible for evolving the mathematical behavior of existing games for brand extension titles and game variants, ensuring engaging gameplay experiences while meeting product and regulatory requirements. The successful candidate will be part of a Belgrade studio team which produces games for Specialty lottery markets, but very often will be in contact with colleagues from different studios (EU, US & Canada) who provide support for tools and mathematical calculations.
