Black Forest Games is part of the fastest-growing publisher in Europe, Embracer Group, and the biggest studio of THQ Nordic Vienna.

Our last release was the highly successful remake of 'Destroy All Humans'.

Here in the south of Germany, directly at the French border, we combine the creative freedom and culture of an independent studio with the financial security of a big publisher.

We are currently seeking creative and passionate AI programmers to join us as we create our next outstanding game using the Unreal Engine.

AI programmers work together with designers, artists, leads, and others to transform abstract ideas into working code.

They play a key role in bringing characters to life with artificial intelligence, make combat possible by crafting weapons and special abilities, and implement all manner of gameplay logic, systems, and tools.

A successful AI programmer may be a specialist in any one or more of these areas or a generalist who thrives on diversity.

Solid working knowledge of C++ with creative problem solving
A university degree (not necessarily in computer science)
Experience with recent AAA characterbased games
Passion for video games
English language skills

Not required, but a huge plus:

3+ years experience at a game studio and completion of at least one game
General experience with Unreal Engine
Experience with AI in UE4 (behaviour trees and blueprints)
Experience with 3D graphics / rendering pipelines
Experience with 2D graphics/user interfaces
Strong linear algebra skills

Assessment:

CV
Code samples (optional submit only code that you wrote and own)
Test task* (expect about 8 hours, can be spread over two/three days)

Why join Black Forest Games?

We are a team with a long history of looking for long-term companions - we are hiring for the studio, not for the project.

This is an important part of our company philosophy. Talent is always welcome, no matter where you are from. We offer a family-friendly work-life balance and a lot of flexibility. Here you can work on IPs known worldwide and help shape them.

As a bonus, Black Forest Games is located in one of the most beautiful and wealthiest areas in South Germany, located close to Strasbourg, Karlsruhe, and Basel.

Getting here is easy because of the excellent traffic conditions, 3 airports about 30 minutes away, and the Autobahn & ICE station right around the corner.

All of this in a region where kids still play in nature and ride to school by bike.

Love everything about us but you don't want to live in Germany? No problem, lots of our developers are living across the border in Strasbourg, France and get here easily by train or car.

Strasbourg is one of the biggest cities in France with citizens.
