Concepteur-trice de jeux augmentés par les ML (apprentissage automatique)

Nous sommes à la recherche d'un-e concepteur-trice de jeux qui utilise les larges modèles de langage (LLM) dans le cadre de son travail quotidien, en particulier de originale et créative.

Notre équipe comprend des chercheurs-euses en ML, des MLOps et des développeurs-euses de jeux.

ML- augmented game designer

We are seeking a game designer who leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) as part of their daily workflow, especially in strange or unforeseen ways. Many designers are exploring LLMs for code or “lore” generation (e.g. NPCs, quests, dialogue, etc), but we are looking for someone who is digging deeper… Have you made a game mechanic generated by an LLM? Or prototyped a game only possible with LLMs? Then this job is for you!


You will work with our generative ML team to create entertainment and game development from the ground up. Our team includes ML researchers, MLOps,
and game developers. To give you a sense of the team’s prior work, here is a short presentation we gave at SIGGRAPH last year: https://youtu.be/btWy-BAERoY?t=3420

Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in PlayStation Global’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
