Engineering Intern

Since founding earlier this year, we have

• Locked in 1,000+ gaming & livestream creators (100 K-10 M followers each) who will launch Roam games to an aggregate reach of 250 M+ fans.
• Assembled a 12 person applied AI team spanning ByteDance Seed, Nous Research, OpenCSG, NASA (multi-agent workflows, world simulation), second-time technical founders, engineers that shipped 100+ games for Voodoo and Supersonic and built mobile apps from 0-2M DAUs.
• Raised an unannounced round from investors behind Google Deepmind, Bytedance, Anduril, Together AI and Polymarket, founders & large content creators.
• Acquired a consumer product studio with 11.5M+ downloads.

About the Role

You’ll work at the intersection of applied AI and large-scale systems, focusing on world generation pipelines, data-efficient training methods, and inference-time optimization for real-time generation. Your work will enable everyone make, play and monetize highly engaging games & 3D environments. This will include:

• Architect and implement game generation pipelines powered by LLMs and advanced agentic chains
• Optimize game iteration cycles, model accuracy, and generation speed across mobile and cloud stacks
• Scale the product
• Build feedback loops that learn from player & self-play actions to auto-test and improve games in real time
• Deliver context-aware creation via multi-turn dialogue and fine-grained parameter control

We’re looking for engineers who have

• Built & scaled products with agents: Orchestrated multi-agent tool-calling with memory and planning, shipped to real users with live evals, tracing/observability.
• Ran LLM post-training: Curated clean preference data, automated data pipelines, and built eval harnesses.
• Built fast growing products: solo or with a friend launched products that grew to 1000s of users. Owned onboarding and growth loops and drove retention.
• Worked on GPU optimization & CUDA kernels: and similar.

Responsibilities

• Scale the product

Strong candidates may also have

• Significant experience in software engineering and applied AI
• 1+ year full time experience at a hypergrowth startup

Compensation

• $150 an hour. Successful candidates might be offered a Full Time offer.
• Free housing, food, and transportation.

Growth Opportunity

You’ll join a mission-driven team working at the frontier of AI world generation. We're HQ'd in SF and currently work all week around. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Own large parts of Roam’s core generation and simulation stack spanning from multimodal data pipelines to agent orchestration and engagement modeling.
• Define new benchmarks for fun, retention, and interactive intelligence in 3D worlds using behavioral data across thousands of environments.
• Ship alongside a team that has already built products for 13M+ users, with 1000+ large creators ready to deploy our technology.

If you're excited to move fast, build at the edge of what's possible, and help define how AI inhabits 3D worlds, let's talk.
