What happens when game designers get generative AI to play with and the freedom to experiment properly?
That's this role. You'll join a world-class AI research team at a global tech leader. You'll build playable prototypes that explore what AI can do for games. This isn't about shipping a single title. It's about finding the mechanics, player loops and ideas that haven't been possible until now.

- 12 months contract working at the cutting edge of AI and games
- Hybrid working, with Tuesday to Thursday in central London - 3 days
- Annual leave plus bank holidays
- Real creative freedom across genres, from sandbox simulation to emergent narrative
What you'll need
- A game design track record, with shipped titles or substantial work taken from concept to playtest
- Hands-on prototyping skills in Unity, Unreal, Godot or a scripting environment, so you build your ideas yourself
- An obsession with game feel, controls and player agency
- Curiosity about generative AI and a love of experimenting
- Confidence running workshops and working with researchers and engineers
- A portfolio or prototypes you can show us
- The right to work in the UK
What your week might look like
- Building a quick playable prototype around a new AI capability
- Playtesting it, breaking it and tuning how the AI behaves
