Full Job Description
About the Role:
You'll work at the intersection of applied AI and large-scale platform engineering. Your focus will be on building and owning the core infrastructure, platforms, and toolchains that power our AI-driven generation tools. Our current engineering focus spans:
Architect and automate self-serve developer platforms: build pipelines for LLM-powered game generation, asset integration, and production-ready toolchains.
Design integrations across 3D engines, iOS/mobile, and cloud systems to speed up iteration and deployment.
Instrument automated testing and feedback systems that learn from both self-play and user behavior, accelerating bug detection and product polish.
Own new platform features end-to-end -from design to production, ensuring reliability, scalability, and developer usability.
Quickly assess and refine Roam's existing architecture, enforce clear service contracts, and eliminate deployment friction in your first week.
Significant experience in software engineering and in applied AI.
Comfort with Vector DBs (Pinecone, OpenSearch) and semantic search systems.
1+ year full time experience at a hypergrowth startup.
Strong candidates may also have:
Training and finetuning diffusion and language models
Work in research and robotics
Experience with Game Development, 3D engines / Shaderlab
Compensation:
Base salary of $180,000 - $400,000, and 0.25% - 1% equity.
Free housing, food, and transportation.
Visa Sponsorship & relocation support.
Growth Opportunity
You'll join a mission-driven team working at the frontier of AI world generation. We're HQ'd in SF and currently work 7 days a week. In this role, you'll have the opportunity to:
Own Roam's infrastructure, devops and training setups.
Define new benchmarks for fun, retention, and interactive intelligence in 3D worlds using behavioral data across thousands of environments.
Ship alongside a team that has already built products for 13M+ users, with 1000+ large creators ready to deploy our technology.
If you're excited to move fast, build at the edge of what's possible, and help define how AI inhabits 3D worlds, let's talk.
