If you are driven by the art of crafting intelligent systems that breathe life into game characters, and you thrive in an environment of innovation, collaborative spirit, and a commitment to high-quality execution — you might be the perfect fit! At Inviox, you will play a crucial role in building deeply immersive gameplay experiences powered by sophisticated and reactive AI behaviors.

What We Are Looking For

• 4+ years of proven professional experience working extensively with Unreal Engine 4 or 5, with a significant focus and specialization in Artificial Intelligence (AI) development.
• Deep and comprehensive knowledge of both C++ programming and Unreal Engine's visual scripting system, Blueprints, as well as a strong understanding of Behavior Trees.
• Solid and in-depth understanding of fundamental AI systems design principles, including pathfinding algorithms, decision-making processes, and state machine implementation.
• Demonstrated experience in creating compelling and engaging enemy AI, believable Non-Player Character (NPC) behavior systems, and dynamic environment interaction through AI.
• Ability to write clean, efficient, scalable, and well-optimized code that adheres to industry best practices.
• Familiarity with Unreal Engine's blackboard systems, perception systems, and effective techniques for debugging AI behaviors within the UE environment.
• Self-motivated and capable of working independently while also fostering strong collaboration and communication across different development departments.
• Upper-intermediate English language proficiency or higher, enabling clear and effective communication within our international team.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience developing AI systems for multiplayer games or implementing network-replicated AI behaviors.
• Knowledge of machine learning techniques or the development of procedural behavior generation systems.
• Familiarity with core game design principles specifically related to the interaction between players and AI agents.
• Experience working on commercially shipped game titles or high-fidelity game prototypes.
• Comfortable and effective collaborating with team members working within the UK Time zone.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement advanced AI systems and engaging behaviors primarily using Unreal Engine 5.
• Collaborate closely with game designers and gameplay programmers to deliver responsive, challenging, and believable AI agents.
• Build scalable and robust AI frameworks for various characters, enemies, or NPCs, ensuring seamless integration with animation systems and level design.
• Proactively troubleshoot AI-related technical issues and optimize AI performance across different target platforms.
• Thoroughly document technical AI solutions and maintain clean, well-organized, and easily understandable codebases.

Note: If you feel strongly that you have what it takes for this role but don’t check 100% of the boxes—that’s okay—we encourage you to apply anyway and highlight what you can bring to the table.
