AI Designer

The AI Social Design team creates AI behaviours and interactable entities for Squadron 42 and Star Citizen. We aim to achieve a level of detail never seen before in a video game. Our current focus is to populate the various locations with convincing life based on a location’s theme, lore, and environmental conditions. A successful candidate is both a visually creative person, a student of human behaviour, and master of technical implementations. 

Founded in 2012, Cloud Imperium Games creates cutting-edge videogames that defy expectations. We’re currently developing Star Citizen, a record-breaking multiplayer online space sim, and Squadron 42, a cinematic single-player adventure set in the same universe. Join us as we break boundaries and make videogame history.
