Job description

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

Requirements

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
