About this role
This role contributes to game-development projects within the Cygames group.

AI-related infrastructure such as navigation meshes is also included. Required qualifications are deep knowledge of game AI and professional experience using C or C++.

Windows tool-development experience is an additional preferred qualification. The work focuses on game characters and NPC behavior. The role involves actively hearing requirements from game designers and making proposals to them. Interest in games and enjoyment of testing NPC AI behavior through gameplay are desired characteristics. The position is employed by CySphere and is not a secondment from Cygames.
