Founding Artificial Intelligence Engineer

About Us

Nitrode is building an AI-powered game engine and platform that supercharges developers into expert game developers. Designed to break traditional timelines, Nitrode enables developers to create complex, fully functional games in just two days — a process that once took months or even years.

We’re pushing the boundaries of game development, and the next generation of top-tier games will emerge from Nitrode. Join us to revolutionize the gaming industry.

Responsibilities

    •    Design, build, and iterate on production-grade AI agents: tool use, orchestration, planning, and reasoning workflows

    •    Define and own evaluation and benchmark suites to measure agent behavior, response accuracy, and tool integration

    •    Build and maintain the infrastructure to support agent deployment, monitoring, and scaling

    •    Architect and develop the game asset generation pipeline: from raw inputs through feature extraction, alignment, structural modeling, and rendering or scene assembly

    •    Develop robust preprocessing, alignment, and calibration steps for multi-view inputs, and optimize for speed/quality trade-offs

    •    Research, evaluate, or prototype novel vision / structure from motion / 3D reconstruction / spatial consistency methods to improve fidelity and generalization

Why Join Now?

This is a rare opportunity to help define the core architecture of a new game engine — at a moment when AI is rewriting what’s possible. As a founding engineer, you’ll shape not just the product, but the company and the entire industry as a result. You’ll have massive ownership, and creative input in something that will redefine game development forever.
