We would love if you have

• A creative and curious mind passionate about language models
• Experience from researching and implementing NLP machine learning methods, including conversation and grounded language
• An understanding of NLP model performance (latency and throughput) is a bonus
• Solid experience with Python, and common ML frameworks
• An interest in games and game/product design
• General software engineering skill is a plus
• Professional English communication skills
• The ability to be a great team player with great communication skills
  

At Embark we offer competitive salaries, passionate colleagues to share knowledge with, and much more, but most of all we invite you to take part in a journey into the unknown, to build creative, surprising, and beautiful experiences together.

We welcome game makers of all sex, class, color, age, gender identities, education, religion, opinion, culture, nations of origin, languages, sexual orientations, shapes, sizes, and abilities.

Did we leave anyone out? Well, we welcome you, too! We think that the gaming industry is made better when everyone has a seat at the table.
