[Hiring] Senior Creative Technologist, Games GenAI @Netflix

Role Description

Generative AI is opening up new creative possibilities for games, and the craft that matters most is knowing which of those possibilities are genuinely good, and shaping the promising ones into something that's truly fun to play. As Sr Creative Technologist, Games GenAI, you'll use GenAI tools to explore game concepts, levels, and moments — then bring that same creative direction to life across visual style, voice/tone, sound, and overall execution so what emerges feels intentional and true to the vision.

You'll work across three kinds of projects:

• Early-stage prototypes and proofs of concept with external partners that push the frontier of what's possible.
• In-production titles.
• Internal experiments where you'll do a mix of hands-on building and creative guidance for engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and iterate on playable game prototypes using GenAI-accelerated workflows to explore whether a concept, mechanic, or moment truly comes alive.
• Design and prototype pipelines connecting generative AI APIs to DCC tools and engine-side systems.
• Bring hands-on creative guidance to prototypes and in-flight projects: visual style and mood, voice and narrative tone, sound and music direction, and overall game feel/execution.
• Translate creative direction into technical game design: requirements, systems, and documentation precise enough that engineering can build against them.
• Partner with the broader Games GenAI team to identify which GenAI tools and pipelines are worth building out.
• Work directly with external development partners and internal project leads to give clear, opinionated creative feedback during early prototyping and proof-of-concept phases.
• Run workshops, demos, and office hours to help other teams get better at using GenAI tools for creative exploration.
• Stay current on new GenAI creative tools and assess them primarily through a creative-quality lens.

Qualifications

• Strong track record as a game director, lead designer, or similarly senior creative role, with shipped game(s) where you owned or heavily shaped creative direction.
• Hands-on comfort building rapid prototypes using agentic coding tools, engine scripting, or no-code/low-code tools.
• Hands-on experience building with GenAI models and technologies to create new game experiences.
• Demonstrated "taste": a track record of correctly identifying what's fun (or isn't) early, and of making prototypes or products better through direct creative judgment calls.
• Experience directing across multiple creative disciplines at once and synthesizing them into a coherent creative vision.
• Comfort giving direct, specific creative feedback to both internal teams and external development partners.
• Excellent communication skills; able to articulate why something is or isn't working in terms a cross-functional team can act on.

Nice to have

• Experience working with external/third-party studios as a creative partner or reviewer.
• Experience with agentic coding tools to build lightweight internal tools or skills.
• Comfort generating quick directional prototypes and previz across a range of tools.
• Sound/music direction experience.
• Experience with rapid, small-form game prototyping.

Benefits

• Comprehensive Health Plans.
• Mental Health support.
• 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match.
• Stock Option Program.
• Disability Programs.
• Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts.
• Family-forming benefits.
• Life and Serious Injury Benefits.
• Paid leave of absence programs.
• Full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days annually for paid time off.
• Full-time salaried employees are immediately entitled to flexible time off.
