Highlight is an AI-first mobile gaming studio, building the next generation of mobile games. Games that couldn't be built before AI, where creation is the gameplay itself.
We're looking for an AI Engineer to build the creative AI systems at the heart of the game: image and video generation pipelines that run in real time, embedded directly inside the game loop. You'll own the full pipeline end to end, from model selection and fine-tuning to production deployment, with zero tolerance for latency and zero room for manual fixes.
As AI Engineer you'll design, build, and operate the creative AI infrastructure that makes the game work. You'll work directly with the founders to turn cutting-edge generative models into reliable, real-time, production-grade systems, at the speed gameplay demands.
This is not research and it's not glue code. It's taking the newest models available and making them fast enough, stable enough, and good enough to sit inside a game loop that a player is actively waiting on. It takes deep technical expertise in image and video generation combined with a builder's mindset: someone who ships, iterates fast, and cares that the output is genuinely great, not just technically correct.
