**Requirements:**  

-   **7+ years in iGaming** (slot provider or similar B2B environment), with a proven portfolio of released slot titles;
-   **Deep Math Understanding:** Strong grasp of slot mathematics (RTP, volatility, hit frequency, bonus features, jackpots) to effectively collaborate with shared math resources;
-   **Delivery Focused:** Proven ability to deliver slot titles from concept to launch in a lean, fast-paced environment;
