Fractional AI Engineer
We are looking for an AI Engineer to conduct a comprehensive audit of our development and creative workflows. Rather than just following trends, you will take a pragmatic, results‑oriented approach to identify where Artificial Intelligence can concretely speed up our delivery cycles and enhance our creative output.
Audit & Identify: Analyze our current game development lifecycle—from asset creation and coding to QA and marketing—to find bottlenecks that can be solved by AI.
Strategic Roadmap: Develop a clear, prioritized plan of AI integrations (LLMs, Generative Art, Auto‑testing, etc.) that offer the highest ROI for our studio.
Workflow Optimization: Design custom AI‑driven workflows and tool recommendations that allow our teams to automate "busy work" without sacrificing quality.
Hands‑on Prototyping: Demonstrate proof‑of‑conceptions for AI tools that can be integrated into our Unity‑based production environment.
Knowledge Transfer: Empower our senior leadership and technical teams with the knowledge to maintain and evolve these AI strategies long after your mission is complete.
With this role, you will have a direct impact on the efficiency of a world‑class gaming studio. Your expertise will help us cut through the noise and implement AI solutions that provide a tangible competitive edge in the casual markets.
Profile
AI Expert: Deep, up-to-date knowledge of the AI landscape, including LLMs (GPT, Claude, local models), Generative Media (Stable Diffusion, Midjourney), and AI‑driven coding assistants.
Game Dev Context: A strong understanding of the game development process (Unity/C# environment preferred) to ensure your recommendations are technically feasible.
Efficiency Obsessed: A track record of implementing AI solutions that have demonstrably reduced production time or costs in previous organizations.
Analytical & Pragmatic: Ability to distinguish between "AI hype" and tools that provide genuine utility for a fast‑moving gaming studio.
Strong Communicator: Excellent English skills and the ability to explain complex AI concepts to both technical developers and creative leads.
Independent & Proactive: Experience working in short‑term consultancy roles where you are expected to deliver high‑quality results with minimal hand‑holding.
