Find your next role

Description

We are seeking a Software Development Engineer to join our Gen AI & Strategic Initiatives team. You will be a critical early member as we drive two key areas of AI integration to 1) create new types of Gen AI native games and gameplay experiences; and 2) enhance productivity of internal teams through adoption of best practices, tools and creation of agentic solutions.

You will help build next-generation tools that will drive adoption of transformative AI solutions for both external game developers and internal engineering teams. You will be a hands-on builder who designs, develops, and operates the infrastructure to support both proprietary and third party models. Your expertise in distributed systems and API design will enable you to build resilient, performant solutions that abstract the complexity of multiple AI providers behind unified interfaces. You will build agents supporting Engineering, Martech, Business Intelligence and more.

We are looking for a highly collaborative team player with a developer-focused, customer-obsessed mindset, strong ownership mentality. Ambiguity motivates you to invent and solve problems. This is an exciting opportunity to excel in a dynamic, scrappy environment where you’ll shape the future of gaming with AI.

* Build and operate high-scale API infrastructure - Design, develop, and maintain secure, scalable APIs using Native AWS which provide unified access to multiple AI service providers including Bedrock, SageMaker, and vendors like ElevenLabs.

* Launch cross-functional agents - Identify key use cases to increase productivity and partner with domain experts to create agentic workflows and systems.

* Evaluate & optimize performance - Design caching strategies, implement request optimization, and build monitoring systems to deliver low-latency and cost efficient AI powered solutions

* Support developer experience and adoption - Create developer tools, SDKs, documentation, technical demos and sample code to accelerate adoption; provide technical support and guidance to internal and external developers integrating with the platform

* Ensure enterprise-grade security, compliance and responsible AI is the backbone of all solutions
