Epic Games is looking to develop tools to bring AI-powered conversational technology to games, pushing the envelope to define the future of real-time graphics and gaming technology.
Requirements
- Expert Python (async I/O, data engineering); strong systems skills
- Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf)
- Comfort reading papers and turning ideas into robust code
- Experience with reinforcement learning, safety alignment, or RAG techniques
- LLM-related open-source contributions or published research
Responsibilities
- Own the data pipeline: source/synthesize scalable conversational datasets, and enforce data quality, privacy, and provenance
- Train and align at scale: build distributed SFT/DPO/RLHF workflows, automate evals, and iterate quickly
- Enable the creation of new real-time experiences: integrate LLMs with tool use, memory/RAG, and TTS/ASR; meet strict latency and cost budgets for live gameplay
- Collaborate with the moderation teams: work with Epic’s moderation teams to continue refining safeguards and policy checks
- Partner widely: collaborate with gameplay engineers, designers, and artists to prototype and ship real-time experiences in games
Other
- B.S. in CS/ML/EE/Math or equivalent; advanced degree a plus
- 5+ years building production ML or distributed systems (flexible for exceptional impact)
- Unlimited PTO and sick time
- Recognize individuals for 7 years of employment with a paid sabbatical
- 100% of the premiums for both you and your dependents paid for Medical, Dental, a Vision HRA, Long Term Disability, Life Insurance & a 401k with competitive match
