Senior Machine Learning Engineer (R&D)

You possess strong CS fundamentals and have the confidence to contribute to (and sometimes leading) multiple projects. You are not easily distracted; you can focus on solving the most important problem (top prioritized, and sometimes the hardest) while having the patience to delay what seems urgent, easy but less important tasks. There are 1000 interesting things happening in our Machine Learning every day, but you like to follow through.

As a member of our Machine Learning team, you will design systems that can improve game dev productivity and/or impact the game design process.

You possess a strong background in building reinforcement learning-driven systems and feel comfortable working in a project that stretches different domains and disciplines.

You will be joining a team of knowledgeable programmers with hands-on experience in building machine learning systems.

In this role, you can expect to:

• Work in a challenging and fluid environment for developing state of the art technologies
• Contribute to the Machine Learning workflow framework and infrastructure
• Design and analyze reinforcement learning systems, and algorithms
• Work with data scientists, game developers to build Machine Learning applications
• Evaluate concepts and assumptions with rapid prototyping
• Write robust, quality code and maintain code quality across the team
• Participate in all aspects of the project life-cycle, from ideation to specification to release
• Work on ad-hoc projects and/or requirements may arise as requested

In order to be successful for this role, we are looking for:

• BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent
• Expert in reinforcement learning or machine learning with software engineering experience
• Experience in working in a mixed team environment of engineers and non-engineering professionals
• Good experience working with source control
• Able to effectively communicate and translate between general ideas and technical practices
• Experience in Python programming, distributed systems, cloud platform (GCP/AWS)
• Experience with PyTorch, or Tensorflow, or other neural networks frameworks

It will be nice if you also have:

• Experience with Unity and game development
• Knowledge in common software development patterns
• Experience in reinforcement learning projects/competitions
• Experience in game development
• An active Github profile
