Senior ML/AI Researcher - Game AI

Who We Are

At Regression Games, we are defining the use of AI agents in games for automated testing. We're a dynamic team driven by innovation, experimentation, and a deep commitment to transforming the game development experience. If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI and game development, we're looking for a researcher like you to join us!

Job Description

We are looking for an experienced machine learning practitioner to lead our efforts in prototyping cutting-edge game AI approaches. This role is specifically designed to allow a bright engineer to dive deep into problems spanning across CV, NLP, RL, and LLMs. A typical workday for this role will involve reading papers, designing and constructing datasets, training models, building pipelines, brainstorming with the team, and failing often. In the case of successful projects, you will work closely with the rest of the team to bring your ideas into the product. On some occasions, this work may include publishing papers and delivering talks.

For this role, we are looking for someone with that true startup mentality - jumping into problems without hesitation, implementing experimental techniques, and diving deep with customers and team members to understand the problem space. The ideal candidate isn’t afraid to implement crazy ideas, build and throw away entire systems, and collaborate with the team to find the best way forward with an idea.

Location

We have options for either fully remote or hybrid remote/in-person at our NYC hub, where our CEO is located.
