Role Overview
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Match AI & Simulation) to join our London-based studio to enhance our match simulation and help us take our football match engine to the next level. The match engine team is responsible for the technological advancements of our state-of-the-art in-house engine which simulates football matches. You will join a passionate and flourishing team who care deeply about the authenticity and depth of the match simulation in our games. As part of this team, you will be working on the game AI and core systems that drive our match simulation, which is used across multiple projects and products. This covers everything from the AI that controls the agents on the pitch, their decision-making, positioning, and tactical behaviours through to the rules of the simulation, pathing, collisions, and game state management. Your primary focus will be on improving the architecture and performance of the match simulation, with particular emphasis on the game AI systems that drive agent behaviour. You will refactor existing systems from flat, tightly coupled structures into modern, maintainable paradigms such as behaviour trees, finite state machines, and utility-based systems. You will also build and maintain our in-house debugging and visualisation tools to ensure designers and engineers can rapidly iterate on and understand AI-driven agent behaviour. You will collaborate closely with designers, QA, producers, and other engineering teams in a studio where football expertise runs, giving you rich, authentic context to draw on as you build the systems that power the simulation. You will have full input into the team specifically as well as the studio generally, with the opportunity to voice your ideas and suggestions. Our match simulation is shared across multiple products and is a critical part of the games we make, and you will consider challenges involving the match experience across several platforms, including on mobile devices. We are looking for self-motivated, proactive people with good communication skills who can complete work independently as well as part of a team, and who actively seek out opportunities to improve systems and drive change rather than waiting for direction.
