Development of Virtual Beings solution in Unreal Engine 4 based on custom Evolving AI technology integration. The solution is based on a custom architecture that uses genetic algorithms and reinforcement learning, together creating a system capable of learning skills in real-time and capturing surrounding context. Part of the project is a dialogue system, allowing users to engage NPCs in a free-flowing conversation.‍

‍

Responsibilities:

• Development using C++.
• Implementation and integration of different AI elements and subsystems in Unreal Engine 4: context awareness, behaviors, character motions, animations control, voice controls, batch training mode, server-side agents support, state persistence, library integrations, etc.
• Working with an external development team on integrating the solution into a third-party project codebase.
• Working on a showcase that contains all integrated AI features in a polished, user-friendly environment.‍

‍

Requirements:

• 5+ years of C++ development experience.
• 3+ years of Unreal Engine development experience.
• Gameplay systems development experience (Animations, Animations Blueprints, Montages, advanced animations controls, Blend Spaces and State Machines, Character Controller, Client/Server, Physics/Raycasts).
• UMG UI development experience.
• HTTP / WebSocket Client-Server interaction.‍

‍

Nice to have:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science.
• Participation in commercial releases of projects made in Unreal Engine 4 (high-budget AAA projects are a plus)
• Editor extensions experience (Editor Utilities, Plugins).
• Optimization (reducing draw calls, CPU boundaries, managing application size, PiX, NSight).
• HTTP 2.0 and REST APIs.
• ISO C++11.
• Basic understanding of modern artificial intelligence technologies: reinforced learning, genetic algorithms.
• Basic shaders experience.
• Understanding of architectural patterns.

‍

Additional Information:

• Languages: English Intermediate +.
