About the Company

Ego is building an Infinite Game - a persistent virtual 3D world where lifelike AI agents are able to interact with players and each other to build their own relationships, communities, and games within the game. Our embodied AI agents can perceive the world in 3D, reason like a human, and write scripting code directly into the game engine.

We're looking for someone with expertise in computer vision, transformer models, and AI agent development to create a versatile AI system capable of real-time perception, reasoning, and action execution within various 3D game environments. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in full stack engineering, applied research, reinforcement learning, and experience with cutting-edge LLM-based systems. This role will involve pushing the boundaries of AI in gaming, similar to projects like Minecraft Voyager, while integrating seamlessly with our existing game development ecosystem.

If you’re passionate about building AI agents in 3D worlds, thrive on fast-paced innovation, and enjoy collaborating in a tight-knit team of game developers, designers, and technical artists, we’d love to hear from you!
