What We Need

We're looking for an Expert Gameplay AI Software Engineer to help build the intelligence behind our next AAA sports title.

      Optimize AI performance for multi-threaded, performance-critical environments

      Partner with designers, animators, and gameplay engineers to deliver features

      Mentor engineers and contribute to team-wide technical growth

      Write clean, performant, and well-tested C++ code

      Conduct code reviews to uphold quality and consistency

What Will Make You A Great Fit

      8+ years of software engineering experience in game development

      Expertise in C++ and Unreal Engine 5

      Strong algorithm and data structure design skills

      Experience with multi-threaded programming in performance-critical environments

      Deep understanding of team-based sports and competitive game dynamics

      Excellent communication and collaboration skills across disciplines

      Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience

      Passion for playing or watching sports

Beneficial Qualifications

      Track record of shipping AAA sports or simulation titles

      Familiarity with modern console hardware and optimization techniques
