Cloud Chamber is looking for an AI Programmer to further push the development of the AI Systems in a strong narrative and systemic game.

You will collaborate closely with our Design, Animation, Audio, VFX, and Art departments to flesh out the designs and finalize the implementations for core AI systems: Perception, Groups, Patrols, etc., that act within our systemic tribal ecology of a sometimes hostile AI. You will have ownership over those systems and collaborate with current engineering leadership to shepherd them to ship. You will be encouraged to push our conception of what is possible in this arena, doing as much to advance the ambition as you will attempt to build it.

Job Details:

• Take strong ownership over the architecture and implementation within the systems of your domain
• Improve Design-facing tools for authoring and scripting combat encounters

Skills, Experience and Qualifications:

We think we are trying some new and ambitious things with AI in this game and we want someone comfortable with pushing the state of the art and experimenting with unproven ideas. We are looking for someone who believes in an iterative, experimental approach to game development. You should be able to move comfortably between design and engineering both collaborating and communicating ambition and limitations.
