Overview

Game Mathematician (Casual Games)

• Full time/Permanent
• Monday to Friday (1 day WFH)
• Free office snacks & drinks
• Company provides Group Health & Surgical/Outpatient Medical Benefits
• Location: Labrador Park, mTower building

Job Description

Handle the Game Balancing and Economy Design: You define the numerical values for everything in the game, from how much XP a player earns per level to the drop rates of items. You ensure that the game isn’t too easy (boring) or too hard (frustrating) by having a gradual progression curve that keep players engaged over time.

Probability and RNG Modeling: Design the underlying probability engines and ensure the Random Number Generation (RNG) feels fair to the players.

Monetization Simulation: You will need to build complex spreadsheets or simulations to predict how changes in the game economy affect revenue. For example, if you give players 100 free coins, you calculate how that impacts the long-term sink (spending) of the game’s virtual currency. You must be good with using spreadsheet.

Statistical Analysis & Monte Carlo Simulations: Before a feature is even coded, you run millions of automated simulations (often using Python or Spreadsheet) to see how a game mechanic behaves over time. This helps catch game-breaking exploits where a player could theoretically get infinite resources.

Collaboration with other Game Designers: You are the bridge between creative fun and hard logic. You translate a game designer's vision (e.g., "I want this boss fight to feel epic but winnable") into specific damage formulas, health pools, and critical hit chances.

Job Requirements

• P reside a good local Degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computing, Computer Science, RTIS discipline etc
• Strong Foundation in Maths - Good expertise in Probability Theory, Statistics, Combinatorics, and Linear Algebra
• Good hands-on experience with Unity game engine, Google/Excel spreadsheet
• Know Python (run large-scale simulations that Excel can't handle)
• Plays a wide variety of light to midcore casual mobile games
• Excellent communication – active listening skills, accessible verbal and written presentation
• Work well in a lean team, team-player
• Creative, innovative, positive problem-solving perspective

Thank you for your time.
