[Hiring] Freelance - AI Engineer @Voodoo

Role Description

We are looking for an AI Engineer to conduct a comprehensive audit of our development and creative workflows. Rather than just following trends, you will take a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to identify where Artificial Intelligence can concretely speed up our delivery cycles and enhance our creative output.

• Audit & Identify: Analyze our current game development lifecycle—from asset creation and coding to QA and marketing—to find bottlenecks that can be solved by AI.
• Strategic Roadmap: Develop a clear, prioritized plan of AI integrations (LLMs, Generative Art, Auto-testing, etc.) that offer the highest ROI for our studio.
• Workflow Optimization: Design custom AI-driven workflows and tool recommendations that allow our teams to automate "busy work" without sacrificing quality.
• Hands-on Prototyping: Demonstrate proof-of-concepts for AI tools that can be integrated into our Unity-based production environment.
• Knowledge Transfer: Empower our senior leadership and technical teams with the knowledge to maintain and evolve these AI strategies long after your mission is complete.

With this role, you will have a direct impact on the efficiency of a world-class gaming studio. Your expertise will help us cut through the noise and implement AI solutions that provide a tangible competitive edge in the casual markets.

Qualifications

• AI Expert: Deep, up-to-date knowledge of the AI landscape, including LLMs (GPT, Claude, local models), Generative Media (Stable Diffusion, Midjourney), and AI-driven coding assistants.
• Game Dev Context: A strong understanding of the game development process (Unity/C# environment preferred) to ensure your recommendations are technically feasible.
• Efficiency Obsessed: A track record of implementing AI solutions that have demonstrably reduced production time or costs in previous organizations.
• Analytical & Pragmatic: Ability to distinguish between "AI hype" and tools that provide genuine utility for a fast-moving gaming studio.
• Strong Communicator: Excellent English skills and the ability to explain complex AI concepts to both technical developers and creative leads.
• Independent & Proactive: Experience working in short-term consultancy roles where you are expected to deliver high-quality results with minimal hand-holding.

Benefits

• Best-in-class compensation
• Other benefits according to the country you reside
