TL;DR · Senior Creative Technologist, Games GenAI

The Senior Creative Technologist, Games GenAI joins the Games GenAI team to explore new creative possibilities for games using generative AI. This role involves building and iterating on playable game prototypes, exploring concepts, levels, and moments to determine what makes a game fun. You will design pipelines connecting generative AI APIs to DCC tools and engine-side systems like Unreal Python API, Editor Utility Widgets, and Unity. Responsibilities include providing creative guidance on visual style, voice, tone, and sound while translating fuzzy creative intent into technical requirements and documentation. You will work on early-stage prototypes with external partners, in-production titles, and internal experiments. Key skills include experience with agentic coding tools, generative image, video, and audio tools, and a proven track record in game direction or lead design.

What you'll do

  • Build and iterate on playable game prototypes using GenAI-accelerated workflows to test mechanics and moments.
  • Design and prototype pipelines connecting generative AI APIs to DCC tools and engine-side systems.
  • Provide hands-on creative guidance on visual style, voice, narrative tone, and sound for in-production projects.
  • Translate fuzzy creative intent into precise technical requirements, systems, and documentation for engineering teams.
  • Identify and evaluate GenAI tools and pipelines that improve creative quality and iteration speed.
  • Provide opinionated creative feedback to external development partners during early prototyping and proof-of-concept phases.
  • Run workshops and demos to train other teams on using GenAI tools for creative exploration.
  • Assess new GenAI technologies for narrative, procedural design, and audio synthesis through a creative-quality lens.

What we're looking for

  • Strong track record as a game director, lead designer, or similarly senior creative role with shipped games.
  • Proven experience owning or heavily shaping creative direction including visual style, narrative voice, and sound.
  • Hands-on experience building game experiences using GenAI models and technologies to prototype mechanics, content, or systems.
  • Hands-on comfort building rapid prototypes using agentic coding tools, engine scripting, or no-code/low-code tools.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify what is fun and make creative judgment calls to improve prototypes or products.
  • Experience directing across multiple creative disciplines simultaneously to synthesize a coherent vision under time pressure.
  • Excellent communication skills to articulate creative feedback to cross-functional teams like engineers, artists, and producers.
  • Experience working with external studios as a creative partner or reviewer (preferred).
