Your Role

As an LLM Game Designer, you will shape how NPCs think, talk, and behave in our world. Your core craft is prompting: writing, structuring, and iterating on the prompts that drive NPC personalities, dialogue, and decision-making. You design the systems behind these prompts together with game designers and AI engineers, so that NPCs feel intelligent, reactive, and immersive in every situation the player creates.

Responsibilities

• Write, structure, and iterate on prompts that drive NPC personalities, dialogue, and behavior
• Design and refine the AI-driven systems that decide how NPCs talk, react, and make decisions
• Build distinct character personalities and ensure consistent voice and tone across interactions
• Create villager automation systems that let NPCs assist the player meaningfully
• Ensure NPC interactions feel organic, contextual, and connected to in-game events
• Work with gameplay and systems teams to integrate AI with quests, economy, and survival mechanics
• Test, evaluate, and continuously improve prompt quality based on playtests and player feedback

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in game design or a closely related creative role
• Strong hands-on experience writing and iterating on LLM prompts, with a clear sense of how prompt structure shapes model behavior
• Solid understanding of how LLMs work in practice, including their strengths, limitations, and typical failure modes
• Experience designing characters, dialogue, or narrative systems
• Experience working with Unreal Engine
• Knowledge of procedural storytelling and generative AI is a plus
• Ability to work onsite in Munich, Germany (EU work authorization required)

What We Offer

• Work on a groundbreaking AAA survival city-building game.
• Be part of a passionate and highly experienced team.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunity to innovate in AI-driven game development.
• A chance to grow with a rapidly expanding game studio backed by top industry veterans.
