Gameplay Engineer, Games, DeepMind

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5 years of experience in one or more programming languages (e.g., C++, Python, or JavaScript).
• Experience working with cross-functional partners (game designers, artists, or producers) to scope and unblock features.
• Experience architecting core gameplay mechanics, custom tooling, or greenfield technical systems from scratch.
• Experience in commercially shipping or publicly releasing a game across its full lifecycle (prototype to release).

Nice to Haves

• Experience training ML models or integrating generative AI into consumer-facing products.
• Experience building high-performance web front-ends or interactive browser-based experiences.
• Practical knowledge of modern game engines like Unreal, Godot, Unity or proprietary internal frameworks.
• A track record of contributing to open-source projects or innovative technical experiments.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and rapidly implement the technical foundations for gameplay prototypes that utilize agentic workflows and generative models as core mechanics.
• Build internal tools, scaffolding, and workflows that empower designers and researchers to easily experiment with complex AI pipelines.
• Lead the integration of small- and large-scale streaming models into game environments, creatively hiding latency and consistency issues inherent to probabilistic models.
• Partner closely with designers and research scientists to solve "unsolvable" technical bottlenecks in early-stage, design-focused projects.
• Build compliant pipelines for data managing and model testing where stability matters, while maintaining the speed and flexibility required for rapid game prototyping.
