Job description
- Design-Led Engineering: Work elbow-to-elbow with Game Designers to prototype and ship AI-augmented gameplay.
- Player-Centric AI: Implement GenAI features that directly enhance the player experience, ensuring that AI-generated content feels intentional, high-quality, and - most importantly - fun.
- Core Systems Integration: Architect how GenAI hooks into core game systems (AI behavior trees, narrative engines, and world-building tools) to ensure seamless, low-latency performance.
- Guardrails & UX: Develop the “logic layer” that sits between raw AI outputs and the player, ensuring content remains on-theme, safe, and balanced within the game’s mechanics.
- Rapid Gameplay Iteration: Use GenAI to accelerate the “find the fun” phase of development, building internal tools that allow for faster level blocking, asset variation, and playtesting loops.
- Technical Troubleshooting: Debug complex interactions where AI systems meet deterministic game logic, maintaining the stability of the live game environment.
