The Role

At Ego AI, we're building the future of games: worlds populated by AI characters that feel alive — with memory, personality, and behavior that evolve over time. Our Character Engine blends cutting-edge AI research with game development to create characters who farm, fight, explore, and connect across platforms, from 3D worlds to Discord, Netflix, and beyond.

We're looking for software engineers who are excited to push the boundaries of behavior-driven game design. You'll join a small, world-class team of engineers, designers, and researchers working at the intersection of games and AI.

Build and ship prototypes and game features that showcase our Character Engine
Design and implement systems for AI character behavior
Collaborate with artists, designers, and researchers to bring believable characters into game loops
Work hands-on with our open-source stack (Character Context Protocol)

Key Responsibilities

Build and ship prototypes and game features that showcase our Character Engine in living, interactive worlds
Design and implement systems for AI character behavior — from perception and memory to personality-driven decision making
Collaborate with artists, designers, and researchers to bring believable, persistent characters into game loops
Work hands-on with our open-source stack (Character Context Protocol) and fine-tuned behavior models
Ship early experiments, gather player feedback, and iterate rapidly to bring new ideas to life

Required Qualifications

Strong programming skills (C++ or similar; bonus for Unity, Unreal)
Experience building gameplay systems, AI systems, or other complex game features
Interest in AI/ML concepts (reinforcement learning, LLMs, or simulation frameworks)
Comfort working in a fast-moving startup environment where roles overlap and execution speed matters
Curiosity, creativity, and a passion for games where characters matter as much as mechanics

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have)

Prior research in AI/ML concepts
Experience with multiple game engines (Unity, Unreal, Godot, etc.)
Background integrating ML/AI systems into gameplay or tools
Experience with LLMs or reinforcement learning frameworks

Project Highlights

Help define a new category of AI-driven characters that go beyond chatbots
Collaborate with top researchers and industry partners
Be part of a team turning research into real playable worlds — not just papers
Shape the future of games, simulations, and interactive entertainment
