Senior Machine learning engineer, AI Authoring

What you'll be doing
Technical Excellence

• Work on our Game Intelligence ML platform, from data ingestion, semantic layer and feature stores through model registry, evaluation and serving.
• Make the calls that keep every model output reproducible and auditable: versioned data snapshots, model and prompt versions, and cost tracked per decision.
• Define, lead, and spearhead engineering practices for the agentic era, including agentic development workflows and evaluation methodologies.
• Partner with different functional teams and disciplines to translate expert human judgment into training signals. Shape the roadmap with the product team.

Modeling

• Build predictors of commercial outcomes for games such as user acquisition cost, lifetime value and return on ad spend from large, noisy, multi-source signals.
• Build forecasting models over market signals that detect emerging demand and estimate when a window opens, peaks and closes.
• Deliver every prediction as a calibrated range with stated confidence, and own the ranking and portfolio logic that turns predictions into recommendations within a budget.

Experimentation and agentic systems

• Design online experimentation with guardrails, safe exploration and clear human decision points.
• Build evaluation harnesses for LLM-based agents, including automated playtesting and multimodal assessment of generated content.
• Orchestrate frontier-model agents in production with strict data boundaries and cost control.

Calibration and measurement

• Own the feedback loop that scores predictions against realized outcomes and corrects bias, coverage and signal weighting over time.
• Make the system report its own error in plain language so that creators and internal stakeholders can trust it.

What we're looking for

• Passion for game industry
• Deep experience in Game, Game Engine development or Game publishing.
• Experience in machine learning with a track record of owning production ML systems or Agentic systems end to end, from data to serving to measured business outcome.
• Deep experience in performance marketing or ad-tech modeling: predicting acquisition cost, lifetime value, return on ad spend, retention or comparable outcomes.
• Strong grounding in probabilistic prediction and calibration: quantile or interval prediction, coverage, bias correction and backtesting of forecasts.
• Experience building LLM-based agent systems in production: orchestration, evaluation harnesses, prompt and model versioning, and cost control.
• Comfort building in a zero-to-one environment.

You might also have

• Experience in mobile game user acquisition, LiveOps or monetization, on the studio or publisher side.
• Experience with Unity game engine, or with automated and bot-driven playtesting.
• Time-series and demand forecasting experience over noisy, multi-source market signals.
• Experience with the Claude Agent SDK, Codex or similar frameworks for multi-agent software production.
• Hands-on experience with BigQuery, ClickHouse, Kafka, Postgres, pgvector or their equivalents.
• Publications or open-source contributions in forecasting, causal inference, calibration or agentic systems.

This range reflects the anticipated base salary for this position. Beyond base salary, this role may be eligible for equity awards and participation in our company incentive plans (such as annual discretionary bonuses or sales commissions). The final offer amount will depend on several factors, including geographic location and the candidate's relevant experience, professional background, and skill set.
