Position Overview
We seek a Senior AI Software Engineer to architect and lead the development of an in‑house AI Coding Agent that accelerates game studios' development pipelines by providing intelligent assistance for code generation, inspection, and debugging.
Duties and Responsibilities
* Architect and lead the development of a robust, scalable AI Coding Agent tailored to game development workflows (primarily for UE/Unity‑based games in C++, C#, and other relevant languages).
* Integrate the AI agent directly into developer IDEs (like Visual Studio, VS Code) and game engines (e.g., Unreal Engine, Unity).
* Collaborate closely with game developers, technical artists, and engine programmers to gather requirements, understand pain points, and iterate on the tool's features.
* Optimize model inference speed and resource usage to ensure a fast and responsive agent that doesn't hinder developer workstations.
* Mentor other engineers on the team and establish best practices for AI development, agentic RAG, and agent‑based architectures.
* Stay current with the latest research in AI, code generation, and LLMs to continuously improve the agent's capabilities.
Who We Look For
* Customer‑oriented, fast‑paced work ability.
* Positive, self‑motivated, and passionate.
* Independent, insistent, and open‑minded.
* Great team player, dependable and autonomous.
* Data‑driven decision maker.
Requirements
* 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, strong background in Python, TypeScript, C++, or C#.
* Proven experience building complex AI systems with hands‑on expertise in Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) and AI Agent architectures.
* Hands‑on experience with LLM APIs and/or fine‑tuning and serving open‑source models.
* Strong understanding of prompt engineering and context engineering to maximize model relevance and accuracy.
* Excellent problem‑solving skills and ability to work on complex, ambiguous projects, delivering results in a fast‑paced environment.
* Experience with observability, performance optimization, and production incident response.
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, or related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
Preferred Qualifications
* Direct experience building a Coding Agent or similar developer‑facing AI tool (IDE plugins, CLI, etc.).
* Experience in the game development industry or with game engines (Unreal, Unity).
