- Implement working applications from ML and RL methods described in the literature
- Evaluate and compare experiments, come up with metrics, verify improvements
- Create ML-based tools to simplify and amplify game development
- Stay current with new research and share that knowledge with the rest of the team
- Collaborate with designers, content creators and gameplay software engineers



We would love if you have

- Experience from implementing machine learning methods, including reinforcement learning
- Understanding of the scientific method, and the patience to conduct experiments that sometimes are slow to yield results
- Experience as game developer, working with professional game engines, using C++, Python, Rust or similar languages
- Solid experience with common ML frameworks
- Professional English communication skills

- ...and that you have a curious mind that wants to explore the are of machine learning
