About the Role

If you’ve ever wondered what actually determines how a game feels to play—and why players keep coming back—it starts with the math.

We’re hiring a Game Mathematician to help build and refine the systems that drive gameplay, payouts, and player experience across IGT’s portfolio.

You’ll be working at the intersection of math, software engineering, and game design—partnering with cross-functional teams to turn concepts into fully realized games, test how they perform, and fine-tune the logic behind every outcome.

Whether you’re a recent graduate or someone early in your career looking to break into the gaming industry, this is an opportunity to learn from experienced teams and help shape games played around the world.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement mathematical models and game logic that define gameplay and payouts

• Create and maintain PAR sheets, pay tables, and supporting math documentation

• Develop tools and models to validate game logic and underlying data

• Collaborate with art, audio, engineering, and design teams to align math with player experience

• Play-test games in development and refine math based on simulations, testing, and player feedback

• 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

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

• Strong foundation in probability, statistics, and combinatorics

• Excel skills for modeling and analysis

• Programming experience or coursework in Python (C# or C is a plus)

• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving ability

• Ability to collaborate within a cross-disciplinary game development team

• Curiosity and initiative to explore new ideas and improve gameplay

• Interest in gaming, mathematics, and player experience

• Internship, academic project, or personal project experience is a plus
