The company is looking for a Playable Engineer with a strong AI orientation to join an ambitious, forward-thinking team.
 

If you’re passionate about building playables, thrive on rapid prototyping, and are genuinely excited by AI-driven creation, this role is for you. You’ll work at the intersection of web, gaming, and AI, helping turn prompts into high-quality, interactive playables through cutting-edge generative pipelines — and pushing those systems toward more control, more variety, and better game feel.

🚀 What You’ll Do
 

• Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, researchers, and creatives to build richer, more diverse playable experiences
• Design, build, and improve AI-driven generation systems, expanding their creative and technical boundaries
• Test, analyze, and interpret generative outputs to guide product improvements and inform new ideas
• Prototype and iterate quickly to explore new directions in AI-generated gameplay
• Identify, analyze, and solve complex challenges, designing scalable solutions that prevent future ones

🧠 Who They’re Looking For

Must-Have Experience
 

• 3+ years of experience in game development
• 2+ years of experience with web technologies (HTML5, TypeScript/JavaScript, etc.)
• 2+ years of hands-on experience creating playables or interactive games without traditional game engines

Nice-to-Have / Strong Interest
 

• Experience or strong interest in LLMs, agentic workflows, and AI-assisted creation tools
• Curiosity about how AI systems generate content — and how to make them more controllable, expressive, and fun

🧩 Mindset & Culture Fit
 

• Builder mindset — loves to experiment, fail fast, learn, and iterate
• Systemic thinking — able to see both the big picture and the step-by-step path to solving complex challenges
• Passion for innovation and learning, especially at the intersection of AI and gameplay
• Self-driven and collaborative, comfortable working across research and engineering domains.

What You’ll Work On

You will help build and evolve the internal engineering foundation that powers large-scale development. This role sits at the core of developer productivity, build systems, and infrastructure tooling — impacting how hundreds (or thousands) of engineers ship code every day.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and develop scalable Golang-based libraries, CLI tools, and internal platforms that streamline and standardize developer workflows.
• Own and evolve critical parts of the build ecosystem — dependency management, caching layers, compilation pipelines, and CI/CD integrations.
• Improve performance, reliability, and developer experience across large monorepos and distributed engineering environments.
• Drive system-level optimizations through profiling, debugging, and concurrency improvements in Go.
• Partner with Infrastructure, DevOps, Security, and Engineering Productivity teams to design resilient, scalable architecture.
• Identify systemic bottlenecks in development processes and replace them with automated, high-leverage solutions.
• Lead root cause analysis for build or tooling failures and implement long-term architectural fixes.
• Raise engineering standards through thoughtful code reviews, documentation, and best-practice advocacy.

What Makes You Strong in This Role

• 5+ years of deep Golang experience, particularly in infrastructure software, build tooling, or backend libraries (not just product APIs).
• Strong understanding of build systems, monorepo environments, and source control internals.
• Hands-on experience with performance profiling, system-level debugging, and concurrent programming in Go.
• Track record of building or contributing to internal platforms, CI pipelines, or open-source tooling.
• Deep familiarity with CI/CD automation and Linux-based development environments.
• Confidence working close to the system layer — scripting, debugging, optimizing.
• Clear communicator who values documentation and scalable engineering processes.

Nice to Have

• Experience with large-scale build tools (Bazel, Buck, Pants, or similar).
• Familiarity with Git internals and repository lifecycle optimization at scale.
• Background in developer productivity or internal platform engineering.
• Contributions to open-source Go or infrastructure projects.
• Exposure to static analysis, security tooling, or automated code review systems.
• Experience in enterprise-scale engineering environments.

This Role Is Likely Not a Fit If

• Your Go experience is limited or focused only on web/API development.
• Your background is primarily frontend, full-stack, or enterprise Java applications.
• You haven’t worked on infrastructure-level or system tooling projects.
