In this role, we are seeking a strong software engineer with experience in Rust. We need candidates with both an enthusiasm for integrating novel generative AI technologies with video game development, as well as the patience to build large components of our game world using more reliable traditional methods. Culturally, we're looking for good communicators who are excited to work as part of a team on a shared codebase, who are happy for other team members to dive into the code they've written and make changes.

• prior work on video game development;
• familiarity with generative AI tools, at least to the point of playing around with them recreationally;
