Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain AI bot systems for automated multiplayer playtesting.
- Develop movement, combat, interaction, and coordination behaviors using a hierarchical architecture.
- Translate gameplay scenarios into testable bot behaviors with designers and QA engineers using visual scripting-based authoring tools.
- Build telemetry pipelines for per-bot event data, downstream analysis, regression testing, and behavior validation.
- Investigate bot failures involving pathfinding, network desynchronization, and complex gameplay-system interactions.
- Modernize architectures by refactoring monolithic systems into composable patterns and reducing cross-module duplication.
- Participate in exploratory machine learning-driven bot behavior research, including early-stage reinforcement learning experiments.
- Review peer code and contribute to shared documentation and engineering best practices.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of software engineering experience with a computer science foundation.
- Proficiency in C++ is required.
- Experience designing or working with AI behavior systems such as finite state machines, behavior trees, or utility-based systems.
- Ability to improve maintainability in complex codebases through abstraction, duplication reduction, and modernization.
- Experience with game engine internals such as entity systems, spatial queries, or physics integration is an asset.
- Experience with automated testing infrastructure, playtesting pipelines, telemetry systems, or replay-driven regression testing is a significant plus.
- Familiarity with game development pipelines and shipped game engines is an asset.
- Machine learning concepts, particularly reinforcement learning, are welcome but prior production ML experience is not required.
