Contract Game Mathematician (Hourly)
Otherworld is a next-generation crypto casino. Our Otherworld Originals team builds custom games that break from convention — including proprietary slot, crash-style, and real estate-themed betting games — designed for a global audience.
We’re seeking a contract game mathematician to join us on a project-by-project basis and ensure the mathematical integrity of the original games we’re building in-house.
About the Role
As a Contract Game Mathematician, you’ll work closely with engineers and designers to validate, and fine-tune the mathematical models behind our real-money games. This includes verifying payout percentages and checking volatility curves. You'll help us simulate, optimize, and bulletproof our game logic — all while collaborating asynchronously with a fast-moving, fully remote team.
Responsibilities
- Analyze and validate game math for custom slot and crash-style casino games
- Simulate expected payout, volatility, hit frequency, and player win curves
- Write and review math specifications and logic documentation
- Provide technical analysis of probability models and expected return-to-player (RTP) behavior
- Develop tools or scripts (Python preferred) for running Monte Carlo simulations
- Recommend adjustments to balance game fairness, excitement, and profitability
- Contribute to A/B testing logic and feature experiments when applicable
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with provably fair algorithms
- Background in game theory, dynamical systems, or Monte Carlo simulations
- Familiarity with game math compliance frameworks for Curacao or other jurisdictions
- Experience working with gaming analytics tools or telemetry data
Why Join Us?
- Work from anywhere in the world
- Set your own hours and work at your own pace
- Be part of a bold, experimental team redefining online gambling
- Ship games that are fast, fresh, and fun — not stuck in corporate pipelines
- Get early access to some of the most unique games in crypto gaming
- Degree or higher in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or a similar quantitative field
- Deep understanding of probability theory, combinatorics, and RTP modeling
- Experience with real-money slot games and/or crash-style games
- Fluency in Python (or similar scripting language) for simulations and payout calculations
- Ability to interpret game design documents and transform them into mathematical logic
- Strong communication skills and ability to document and explain complex math clearly
- Comfortable working independently and asynchronously in a fully remote environment
