What you'll bring:

• 3 years of engineering experience, some professional AI experience, with demonstrable work on at least 1 published title (ideally AAA).
• Understanding of some core AI concepts such as behaviours, HSM, FSM, utility systems, navigation, etc.
• Strong knowledge of C++.
• A genuine passion for video games.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a world-class game with an established, talented, and collaborative team at one of the industry's most exciting first-party game studios.
