"Motive” is the driving force within us that takes us from an idea to reality. Our studio provides a safe, trusting, and empowering environment for our game teams to unleash their creativity across massive brands.

Implement and enhance a variety of features relating to behaviours, navigation and core systems through collaboration with other software developers, game designers and animators.
Participate in defining the architecture of foundational AI technology and associated performance targets
Collaborate with designers and content creators to brainstorm solutions that further the game’s artistic and design vision
Mentor other developers on the AI team and participate in design and code reviews
Work closely with QV and technical leadership to ensure the stability, quality and performance of AI systems

Who You Are:

B.S. (or higher) degree in Computer Science or equivalent
10+ years of professional C/C++ experience
Experience developing AI systems on AAA games with at least one shipped title
Strong teamwork skills but also the ability to take ownership and work independently
Experience using Unreal Engine 4/5 is strongly preferred
Prior leadership experience is desirable
Passion for both developing and playing games
