🤖 Transforming Game Development Through AI 🎮

GameFrame AI is revolutionizing how games are created.   We're not just another AI wrapper; we're architecting the future of creative development by enabling users to build complex games through natural language.

The Challenge: Build the AI orchestration system that translates conversational prompts into game creation.  You'll design intelligent agents that understand game development concepts and coordinate our proprietary gameplay framework, supporting multi-agent coordination, real-time streaming responses, and complex game engine integrations - all while scaling to 1000's of concurrent users

The Role: AI Systems Engineer - Game Development Platform 🚀

As our AI Systems Engineer, you'll build the intelligent backend that enables conversational game development. You'll be designing novel multi-agent systems that understand game development at a semantic level and coordinate complex workflows across distributed VM infrastructure.

You'll work at the intersection of gameplay engineering, cutting-edge AI research and production-scale systems engineering, building technology that has never existed before: real-time, multi-user AI orchestration for game development.
