Senior Machine Learning Engineer – PERM - Worldwide

Who We Are:

We’re shaping the future of digital experiences where AI meets skill and social interaction. If you’ve ever imagined AI that doesn’t just play games but also responds dynamically to users, engaging them in real-time with character and skill, then you might just be the person we’re looking for. We’re building agents that interact with users, interpret nuanced instructions, and adapt with a personality – all in the blink of an eye. This isn’t about simplistic bots or standard gameplay scripts; we aim to set new standards in AI’s ability
to play, communicate, and be coached, all while keeping latency low and interactivity high. We want agents who can hold their own in both gameplay and conversation, responsive to users as both teammates and opponents. Sound like your kind of challenge?

What You’ll Do:

• Design AI architectures that empower agents to respond to instructions, using game mechanics to create a genuinely collaborative experience.
• Innovate with advanced machine learning techniques, including large language models (LLMs) and multi-agent systems, enabling agents to engage in rapid responsiveness and seamless interaction in real-time environments.
• Build agents that have a unique sense of “self” and autonomy, adapting their play style and conversational flow to fit different user personalities and game contexts.
• Optimize for low-latency, high-skill environments, ensuring agents can respond instantly to user commands, maintain focus, and keep players engaged.

Who You Are:

• Experienced in designing, training, and deploying machine learning models for complex, real-time environments.
• Creative in your approach to building agents with personality, from training data selection to model development.
• Agile and user-focused, balancing performance and interactivity to create AI that feels as responsive and aware as a live player.
• Curious about new approaches across ML, including reinforcement learning, large language models, and beyond, always eager to push boundaries.
• Collaborative, yet self-motivated – able to work both independently and as part of an ambitious, interdisciplinary team.

Why Join Us?

• Purpose-driven projects: We’re creating something genuinely new in AI-powered game interaction.
• Creative freedom: We believe in the power of creative minds to challenge conventions. Your ideas won’t just be encouraged – they’ll be essential.
• Culture of exploration: We thrive on diverse perspectives and encourage our team to explore uncharted territories.

Qualifications:

• Master’s/PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience in deep learning and transformers models.
• Proficiency in common frameworks, such as PyTorch and Ray.
• Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software engineer principles.
• Familiar with methods of training and fine-tuning LLMs, such as distillation, supervised fine-tuning, and policy optimization.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with a proactive approach to challenges.
• Ability to move fast in an environment where things are sometimes loosely defined and may have competing priorities or deadlines.
• Enjoy owning the problems end-to-end, and are willing to pick up whatever knowledge you’re missing to get the job done.
