Job description
Job Summary:
Netflix is a leading entertainment company on a mission to entertain the world. They are seeking a Senior Game Engineer who will leverage Generative AI to create dynamic gameplay systems that enhance player experiences.
Responsibilities:
• Design-Led Engineering: Work elbow-to-elbow with Game Designers to prototype and ship AI-augmented gameplay.
• Player-Centric AI: Implement GenAI features that directly enhance the player experience, ensuring that AI-generated content feels intentional, high-quality, and most importantly, fun.
• Core Systems Integration: Architect how GenAI hooks into core game systems (AI behavior trees, narrative engines, and world-building tools) to ensure seamless, low-latency performance.
• Guardrails & UX: Develop the "logic layer" that sits between raw AI outputs and the player, ensuring content remains on-theme, safe, and balanced within the game's mechanics.
• Rapid Gameplay Iteration: Use GenAI to accelerate the "find the fun" phase of development, building internal tools that allow for faster level blocking, asset variation, and playtesting loops.
• Technical Troubleshooting: Debug complex interactions where AI systems meet deterministic game logic, maintaining the stability of the live game environment.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 5+ years of professional experience in game development.
• Deep understanding of game architecture, player controllers, and real-time systems.
• Proven experience using LLMs or Diffusion models to solve specific product problems.
• Ability to prompt, fine-tune, and chain models to get predictable results in an unpredictable game world.
• Understanding of how a change in an AI's 'personality' or 'generation parameters' affects game balance and the overall player journey.
• Expert-level C++ or C# (Unity/Unreal) and a grasp of Python for tooling and data pipelines.
• Excitement by 'impossible' design challenges and belief that GenAI is the key to unlocking new genres of play.
Company:
Netflix is an online streaming platform that enables users to watch TV shows and movies. Founded in 1997, the company is headquartered in Los Gatos, USA, with a team of 10001+ employees. The company is currently Late Stage.
