- Work on internal frameworks and libraries used by mathematicians to implement game logic and mathematical packages.
- Review and validate code written by mathematicians, ensuring quality, correctness, maintainability, and proper usage of internal frameworks.
- Contribute to the development and support of game engines used to run mathematical logic within our platform.
