Games continue to evolve and push the boundaries of entertainment as we know it.
The bar to deliver world-class games continues to rise, driven by advantages in
better hardware and software capabilities. Along with optimizing game
development engines, developing infrastructure and workflows for efficient
remote and hybrid development, brings new opportunities and engineering
challenges that all studios are facing today. Solving these challenges is
critical to enabling efficient hybrid teams as well as external globally
distributed development partners who help scale during peak phases of
development. At The Coalition Studio, through our work on the acclaimed Gears of
War franchise, we are tackling these problems head-on by leading engine
innovation, developing technical showcase technologies, and delivering
world-class workflows, tools and features that are adopted across the wider Xbox
Game Studios organization.
Machine Learning as a focus area has exploded over the past few years and it has
been exciting to see so many ways in which it can be applied to games
development. The Coalition is looking to hire a Machine Learning Engineer to
join the team responsible for exploring these areas of research and directly
applying them to impact our game development process. We directly support the
team by finding ways to improve developer efficiency, allowing our game
designers, animators and engineers to focus on what they do best. Some areas we
are exploring are generative animations, automated testing using reinforcement
learning agents, and multi-modal language models. This candidate can wear many
hats and is comfortable diving into different technology stacks, including
languages like Python, C#, C++, and Rust.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the
planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset,
innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each
day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a
culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
