- You consistently address issues as you encounter them
- You like to experiment and innovate
- You work well with others and communicate technical concepts clearly
- You have a continuous improvement mindset
What You Will Do
- Design and create AI behaviours in Unreal Engine using State Trees and Blackboards.
- Build and iterate on Character, Camera & Controls.
- Integrate AI with the rest of the game systems to create a fun, exciting living world.
- Share knowledge, mentor, and support colleagues in your area of expertise
- Champion engineering quality
- Partner with engineers, designers and artists to deliver excellent player-facing features
Requirements
- Proven experience developing AI behaviours in Unreal Engine
- An interest in 3Cs (Character, Controls, Camera) and experience in a Third-Person game
- Working knowledge of State Trees, Blackboards, Perception, and GAS.
- Strong teamwork and collaboration skills.
- Solid knowledge of C++
- Experience identifying and addressing performance bottlenecks in UI and gameplay systems
Bonus Experience

- Experience with systemic game design (emergent mechanics, simulation-driven worlds, sandbox titles)
Benefits
- Great compensation package and equity
- Private health insurance
- Pension
- Unlimited vacation days. We trust our team!
- Flexible remote work hours as long as team members deliver results
- We are committed to continuing to expand our benefits and perks to support our team.
