Lead

About the role

  • Drive the overall engineering strategy for GenAI in Games.
  • Support Gen AI across our portfolio and studios, both in the creation of new experiences and improving our workflows and pipelines.
  • Lead an organization of engineers, technical designers, and technical artists to experiment and innovate on game-aligned collaborations and exploratory bets.
  • Engage with game teams to develop prototype features and AI-native gameplay mechanics, ensuring technical viability.
  • Partner with external researchers, developers, and companies that are pioneering work in the Gen AI space.
  • Stay on the forefront of AI research and emerging tools, separating hype from high-leverage opportunities that align with our development and player goals.
  • Collaborate with our engineering and platform teams to build robust solutions and scale core capabilities (e.g., model inference, fine-tuning pipelines, data infrastructure, etc).

Requirements

  • Games industry experience, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of the end-to-end game development lifecycle, from concept to live operations.
  • Proven experience leveraging AI/ML in a product environment, with at least the last 2-3 years leading or significantly contributing to Generative AI initiatives (LLMs, diffusion, multimodal systems).
  • Familiarity with AI/ML fundamentals, including core concepts, common ML problems and algorithms, and the end-to-end ML lifecycle (data collection, model training, deployment, monitoring).
  • Deep understanding of the Gen AI ecosystem – open models, data requirements, infrastructure and tooling, safety frameworks, and the trade-offs between hosted and in-house solutions.
  • Comfortable navigating from research prototypes to production-ready systems in a fast-paced, cross-functional setting, in partnership with engineering and AI research teams and game studios.
