Advanced AI Gameplay ProgrammerDescription

As a Senior AI Gameplay Programmer at Certain Affinity, you will build the brain behind our world. You’ll collaborate with designers and artists to define how characters, creatures, and monsters navigate, react, and evolve within the game. We are looking for a veteran engineer who doesn't just "make things work," but builds scalable, performant systems that serve as the backbone for immersive, high-fidelity player experiences.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain robust AI frameworks, including decision-making systems, sensory systems, and spatial reasoning.
• Partner closely with designers and animators to translate creative visions into responsive, believable character behaviors.
• Identify and develop tools that empower content creators, reducing the friction between a design concept and its in-game implementation.
• Diagnose complex, cross-cutting issues that span AI, animation, physics, and gameplay logic.
• Lead by example through code reviews and technical documentation, elevating the engineering standards of the entire team.
• Ensure AI systems are highly performant, squeezing maximum "intelligence" out of the CPU budget.
