Hike is hiring a Senior ML Engineer to power the intelligence behind the Rush Gaming Universe. You will be responsible for turning research into real-time, scalable systems that make gameplay smarter and more immersive. This role involves building deep learning models, owning AI deployment pipelines, and collaborating across functions to translate research into high-quality user experiences.
What You'll Do
- Build deep learning models in the areas of computer vision, graphics, and audio.
- Own end-to-end quality and performance metrics for AI deployment pipelines, from learning to inference to rendering.
- Create deployment pipelines for server-side as well as on-device real-time inference.
- Optimize ML inference pipelines to render high-quality 3D graphics across multiple clients ranging from Android Native to game engines like Unity.
- Collaborate in a cross-functional setup including Artists, Engineers, and Scientists to translate cutting-edge research into high-quality user experiences.
- Leverage AI not just in product development but in your own workflow—from rapid prototyping with LLMs to automating test generation, documentation, and internal tooling.
What We're Looking For
- 1-3 years of relevant industry experience.
- B.Tech or MS from a top-tier institute.
- Strong programming abilities, especially in the Python scientific and deep learning stack (Numpy, Pandas, PyTorch/TensorFlow, Transformers, Diffusers).
- Solid foundations in data structures, algorithms, design, and architecture.
- Exposure to deep learning, preferably building generative AI applications.
- Experience working with LLMs such as OpenAI GPTs, LLaMA, and Claude with use cases taken to production.
- Strong AI-first mindset—actively use AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, GPT, LangChain) to enhance daily workflows, improve velocity, and automate tasks.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment without compromising on quality.
- Ability to be self-directed and learn quickly, coupled with a strong desire to stay on top of the latest developments in AI.
- Team player with excellent organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills.
- Excited about building cutting-edge AI products in the fields of Computer Vision, Graphics, Audio, AR/VR, and more.
