Job summary

UserWise Services is building a high-speed AI-driven game production studio focused on mobile games. We are seeking a Principal AI Engineer to own the AI infrastructure and automation layer powering how we find, build, test, launch, and scale games.

You will mentor engineers and collaborate across product, production, engineering, UA, creative, QA, and game operations. This role emphasizes production systems that teams rely on daily, rapid iteration, and scalable, cost-efficient AI solutions

Qualifications

• Extensive software engineering experience shipping production systems.
• Hands-on experience with LLMs, AI APIs, agents, or automation platforms.
• Proven track record shipping AI-powered tools used by teams in production.
• Strong programming and systems fundamentals.
• Experience with modern LLM development patterns including tool/function calling, agentic workflows, model integration, evaluation, and orchestration.
• Experience integrating APIs, third-party platforms, and cloud-based systems.
• Strong understanding of data pipelines, analytics, and using data to power automated decisions or reporting.
• Ability to design reusable systems for reliability and scale rather than one-off prototypes.
• Ability to translate ambiguous problems across product, design, art, UA, QA, and operations into technical solutions.
• Strong judgment around build vs. buy, model selection, performance, reliability, security, and cost.
• Comfort working in a rapidly changing technical environment where tools and models evolve quickly.
• High ownership. You identify problems, make decisions, build, and ship without waiting for perfect information.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical architecture for AI and automation across Internal Games, establishing shared infrastructure, patterns, and engineering standards.
• Build AI agents, tools, and automated workflows across the game production lifecycle, from opportunity research and prototyping through creative production, QA, launch testing, and LiveOps.
• Design reusable systems that enable teams to move from idea prototype test launch significantly faster.
• Integrate external AI/LLM models and APIs with our development environment, Unity pipelines, and internal tools.
• Build AI-powered analysis and reporting tools that turn game, production, and UA data into actionable insights.
• Create systems for monitoring workflow health, identifying bottlenecks, failures, and data gaps before they slow production.
• Partner with Product Builders, Producers, UA, Creative, QA, and Game Operations to identify high-impact manual work and automate it.
• Develop AI-assisted workflows within Unity and other development environments where they create meaningful production leverage.
• Rapidly evaluate new models, tools, and approaches, adopting what creates measurable advantage and retiring what doesn’t.
• Improve the reliability, observability, scalability, and cost efficiency of AI systems as usage grows.
• Establish practical guardrails around data access, security, quality, evaluation, and human review.
• Act as the senior technical voice for applied AI within the studio, mentoring engineers and enabling technical and non-technical teams to use AI effectively.
