Remote | Game Developer — $25–$70/hour

We are sharing a specialised remote consulting opportunity for experienced Game Developers with strong expertise in gameplay programming, game engine development, debugging, interactive systems, and game testing to contribute their technical knowledge to advanced AI training and evaluation initiatives.

Selected professionals will design small-scale game projects, develop realistic gameplay debugging and feature implementation challenges, and create reference solutions for evaluating AI agents. The work combines practical game development experience with interactive testing, technical design, gameplay mechanics, and structured evaluation to improve how advanced AI systems analyse, interact with, and develop games. Developers from AAA studios, independent game development teams, solo projects, and serious hobby backgrounds are encouraged to participate. Prior experience with AI training projects is not required.

• Practical experience implementing gameplay mechanics and interactive game systems.
• Proficiency with relevant engine scripting technologies, such as C#, C++, GDScript, or Unreal Engine Blueprints.
• Ability to interpret, debug, and improve gameplay logic within existing projects.
• Demonstrated experience identifying and resolving gameplay bugs through iterative testing.
• Familiarity with input systems, game states, scene interactions, and visual gameplay behaviour.
• Experience implementing features that interact with multiple game systems.
• Strong understanding of software debugging and structured technical problem-solving.
• Ability to design realistic game development challenges with clearly defined requirements.
• Experience creating reference implementations and validating technical solutions.
• Strong playtesting skills and the ability to evaluate gameplay behaviour systematically.
• Excellent written communication skills for preparing task briefs and acceptance criteria.
• Strong analytical reasoning, attention to detail, and independent technical judgement.
• Experience in game quality assurance, technical design, or systems design is advantageous.
• Familiarity with automated game testing or reproducible gameplay evaluation is beneficial.
• Experience developing technical tasks or evaluation environments for AI systems is advantageous.
• Ability to work independently and deliver technically accurate game development assignments.
• Prior experience with AI training or model evaluation projects is not required.
