Job Description

Senior Game Mathematician

OVERVIEW Sportradar is the world's leading sports technology company, creating immersive experiences at the intersection of sports, betting, and entertainment. Within our iGaming (Playradar) division, we are building the next generation of gaming experiences across Casino Games, Virtual Sports, Live Betting Products, 24/7 Experiences, and other innovative gaming concepts inspired by the world of sports.

As a Game Mathematician, you will play a key role in designing, validating and optimizing the mathematical models behind our casino games, ensuring engaging gameplay, robust probability logic, compliant RTP structures and commercially successful game mechanics.

THE CHALLENGE:

  • Design and develop mathematical models for casino games, including slots, instant-win games, crash-style games, plinko-style products, roulette-inspired mechanics, number games and other RNG-based gaming experiences.
  • Create, test and document probability models, payout structures, volatility profiles, RTP configurations and game simulations to support product development and certification readiness.
  • Partner with Product Managers and Game Designers to translate game concepts into mathematically sound mechanics that balance player engagement, commercial objectives and regulatory requirements.
  • Run simulations, analyze outcomes and validate game performance against expected probability distributions, hit frequency, variance, maximum exposure and target RTP.
  • Prepare clear mathematical specifications and supporting documentation for Engineering, QA, Compliance and external certification partners.
  • Collaborate closely with Engineering and QA to ensure the correct implementation, testing and verification of game math logic in production-ready casino games.
  • Analyze game and player performance data after launch and recommend improvements to mechanics, balancing, volatility, retention and monetization.

ABOUT YOU:

  • 3+ years of relevant experience in game mathematics, probability modelling, statistical analysis, data science, applied mathematics or a comparable analytical role, ideally within casino gaming, iGaming, online games or digital entertainment.
  • Strong understanding of probability theory, combinatorics, statistics, simulations, variance, RTP, hit frequency and payout modelling for RNG-based games.
  • Ability to develop, validate and clearly document mathematical models for casino games with limited supervision.
  • Commercial experience in designing, developing, and maintaining Java-based applications in production environments.
  • Experience with analytical tools and programming or scripting languages such as Python, R, SQL, Excel/VBA, MATLAB or similar tools used for simulations and statistical modelling.
  • Fluent written and spoken English.

NICE TO HAVE:

  • Hands-on experience creating math models for certified real-money casino games.
  • Knowledge of market-specific gaming regulations, lab certification requirements or game math approval processes.
  • Experience with sports-themed or branded casino games.
  • Interest in innovation, prototyping and building scalable mathematical frameworks.

OUR OFFER

  • Shape the mathematical foundations of a fast-growing portfolio in sports entertainment, casino gaming and iGaming.
  • Create game math models that directly influence player experience, product performance and commercial success.
  • Collaborate with colleagues across Product, Game Design, Engineering, QA, Compliance and Commercial teams.
  • Competitive salary and attractive benefits package.
  • Individual learning and professional development opportunities.
  • Corporate fitness activities and additional employee wellbeing programs.

Additional Information

The minimum monthly salary for this position is according to the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Overpayment will be considered depending on qualifications and working experience.

This role is fully office-based in Wien, while flexible working hours are offered. Certain exemptions may apply depending on location.
