Seeking a specialist to develop and maintain the mathematical model and economy for a CS2 skin case-opening platform. The work includes the initial model and continued development of new mechanics and balance.
Responsibilities
- Calculate case-opening models, item drop probabilities, RTP, expected value, margins, variance, and volatility.
- Set case prices based on the value of included items and simulate large numbers of openings using Monte Carlo methods.
- Test the economy over 100,000 to 10+ million openings and analyze potential loss scenarios for the platform.
- Develop an algorithm to recalculate probabilities as CS2 skin market prices change.
- Model bonus mechanics, upgrades, battles, and other game modes; monitor the overall economy and its stability.
- Ensure long-run results align with the mathematical model and continue developing mechanics and balance.
Requirements
- Strong understanding of probability theory, mathematical statistics, and game-system economics.
- Experience with game mathematics, iGaming, or game economies; examples of related calculations or projects; simulation technology used; and an estimate for developing the initial model are requested when applying.
Nice to have
- Experience with iGaming, game mathematics, loot boxes, case opening, CS2, slots, RNG, or game economies.
- Python and Monte Carlo simulation experience.
