## About the role

We are building the next generation of AI-driven game experiences — generative world models, neural rendering, and multi-modal understanding that turn images, text, and 3D primitives into interactive worlds. As our Staff Machine Learning Engineer, you will be a core technical leader bringing state-of-the-art computer vision and multi-modal models — transformers, diffusion networks, vision-language models (VLMs), and JEPA-style architectures — from research into robust, production-grade systems.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years in ML engineering, with significant depth in computer vision and/or multi-modal modeling
- Proven production experience with transformer-based and diffusion-based vision models (e.g., ViT, CLIP/SigLIP-style encoders, Stable Diffusion, DETR/SAM-style architectures)
- Strong command of the full model lifecycle: data curation, training and fine-tuning, evaluation, and serving at scale
- Familiarity with efficient attention, diffusion samplers, multi-modal fusion, and vision-language alignment techniques
- Strong Python and modern deep-learning tooling (PyTorch), solid software
- engineering fundamentals
