Gameplay Engineer, Games, DeepMind

In this role you will design and rapidly implement technical foundations for gameplay prototypes that rely on agentic workflows and generative models. You will build internal tools and pipelines that enable designers and researchers to experiment with complex AI systems. You will lead the integration of streaming models into game environments, innovatively concealing latency and probabilistic inconsistencies. You will collaborate with designers and researchers to overcome early-stage technical bottlenecks and maintain fast, flexible pipelines for rapid prototyping. This position offers the chance to move ideas from concept to playable proof-of-concept at scale, shaping AI-driven gameplay and
