Company

hirify.global is a world-renowned game development studio that ships successful multi-sku titles, including NBA 2K, and is now deeply investing in artificial intelligence to redefine game creation.

What you will do

• Design and implement AI-driven agents that assist, collaborate with, or autonomously perform complex development tasks across large-scale game projects.
• Create agents that can understand game engine context, assist in asset generation, debug complex systems, or simulate player behavior at scale.
• Identify bottlenecks in traditional game development (design, QA, coding, or art) and bridge the gap with AI-driven solutions.
• Collaborate with gameplay engineers and technical artists to integrate these agents into proprietary engine and toolsets.
• Explore novel applications of modern AI techniques (e.g., LLMs, reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems) to create new ways of building games.
• Help define internal platforms, tools, and architectures that enable AI agents to operate safely, effectively, and at scale.

Requirements

• 5+ years in Software Engineering, with at least 2+ years focused specifically on AI/Machine Learning.
• Strong background in AI, machine learning, or applied research, with experience building real-world systems.
• Hands-on experience with modern AI frameworks and techniques, such as large language models, agent frameworks, or reinforcement learning.
• Expert-level proficiency in Python (for AI/Tools) and C++ (for Engine integration).
• Demonstrated success deploying agentic workflows or complex ML models into production environments.
• Ability to think beyond incremental optimization and envision entirely new workflows enabled by intelligent systems.
• Work authorization for the United States is required.

Culture & Benefits

• Opportunity to learn and grow with some of the hardest working and most creative minds in the industry.
• Work at the intersection of AI research, systems engineering, and game development.
