Game Mathematician II
About The Position
Game Mathematicians at Lighthouse Studio work at the core of game development—taking math logic created by 3rd party partners and turning it into something our games can actually use. This role is highly collaborative. You’ll work across a cross-functional team that includes Game Producers, Project Managers, Graphic Artists, Mathematicians, Software Developers, Technical Artists, Test Engineers, and 3rd party contractors to bring games from concept through delivery. A big part of the job is making sure game math performs exactly as expected. That means building and integrating math logic into our math engine, running simulations, analyzing payouts, and working with the team to identify and resolve any deviations—while ensuring everything meets regulatory and jurisdictional requirements and aligns with the game’s design vision.
