They are seeking a Senior ML Engineer to integrate GenAI models into game features, optimizing performance while collaborating with designers to create innovative gameplay mechanics.

Responsibilities

• Implementation & Integration: Lead the technical integration of GenAI tools and techniques into existing game engines (Unity/Unreal/Proprietary) and development workflows
• Feature Prototyping: Work directly with designers to build functional, AI-native gameplay mechanics—such as dynamic narrative systems, procedural asset generation, or intelligent NPC behaviors
• Optimization & Inference: Own the performance side of GenAI. You will optimize model latency and memory footprints to ensure AI features don't compromise game frame rates
