• Research, design, and implement rewards-based agents using Reinforcement Learning (RL) for testing gaming applications.

• Optimize agent performance through hyperparameter tuning, reward shaping, and model architecture refinement. 
• Develop and implement computer vision algorithms for tasks such as object detection, recognition, tracking, segmentation, and image classification.

• Develop and optimize agents and advanced RAG-based solutions for dynamic game content creation, adaptive player interactions, and enhanced gaming experiences.
• Collaborate with game developers, designers, and software engineers to integrate AI models into game development workflows.
• Build and optimize AI-powered gaming tools, enabling developers to create more immersive and dynamic player experiences.
• Develop and fine-tune models to improve AI in gaming applications.
• Analyze and preprocess game data, training AI models to adapt and improve in-game decision-making processes.
• Stay updated on the latest advancements in AI for gaming, ensuring our solutions remain state-of-the-art.
• Evaluate model performance and drift through experimentation and benchmarking, improving efficiency and scalability.
• Assist in the deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of AI models in production environments.
• Document findings, methodologies, and research for internal knowledge sharing and external publications, where applicable.

Qualifications

• Knowledge in Reinforcement Learning (RL), Generative AI agents, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).
• Proficiency in Python and exposure with PyTorch or TensorFlow for deep learning.
• Experience with game engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine is a plus.
• Familiarity with LLMs, transformers, diffusion models, and self-learning AI systems.
• Knowledge in training and fine-tuning large-scale AI models.
• Knowledge with cloud-based AI deployment (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to translate research into practical solutions.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to collaborate with technical and non-technical teams.
• Passion for gaming and an understanding of game mechanics, AI-driven storytelling, and player engagement strategies.
   
  Education & Experience
• Master’s or PhD in a relevant field (Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, etc.).
