We are pushing the boundaries of immersive technology by integrating advanced Artificial Intelligence into our Virtual Reality training and career simulations. You will be responsible for designing and implementing AI-driven features — such as intelligent NPCs, automated performance assessment, and adaptive learning paths — to create the most realistic and effective training environments on the market.

Key Responsibilities

• AI Integration: Architect and implement AI systems within Unity and Unreal Engine to enhance realism and interactivity in VR simulations.
• AWS Infrastructure Management: Assist with the design, build, and maintenance of our AWS cloud hosting platforms specifically for our VR simulation and AI data systems.
• Intelligent Systems: Develop and deploy LLM-based conversational agents and "Digital Twins" for interactive career coaching and realistic role-playing scenarios.
• Data & Analytics: Design back-end systems to capture, process, and analyze user telemetry data to provide real-time feedback and predictive performance metrics.
• Computer Vision: Explore and integrate vision-based AI for hand-tracking enhancements, object recognition, and safety compliance monitoring within simulations.
• Optimization: Ensure AI models and algorithms are optimized for high-performance, low-latency execution on VR hardware and cloud-based platforms.
• API Development: Build and maintain effective and secure APIs to connect our simulation front-ends with cloud-hosted AI services and database systems.
• Documentation: Create and maintain technical documentation and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all AI-related workflows.

Skills & Qualifications

• AWS Expertise: Strong familiarity with Amazon Web Services (AWS), including S3, EC2, Lambda, and SageMaker for hosting and scaling AI models.
• Game Engines: Proficiency in Unity (C#) or Unreal Engine (C++) with a focus on integrating external AI plugins or custom Python-based services.
• Core AI/ML: Foundation in Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Deep Learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
• Development Languages: Expertise in Python, C#, or C++, and familiarity with web technologies like Node.js or React for dashboard integrations.
• Data Management: Knowledge of MySQL and relational databases for storing and retrieving complex simulation data.
• API & Integration: Experience writing and testing effective APIs and working with tools like Postman, Git, and GitHub.
• VR/XR Knowledge: Familiarity with the unique constraints of VR development, including optimization for standalone headsets and PCVR.

Bonus Skills

• Experience with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for localized knowledge bases.
• Familiarity with multi-player game and social servers.
• Knowledge of best practices in security, vulnerability, and patching of cloud services.
• Background in instructional design or career simulation development.

Eligibility Requirements

• Education: Post-secondary graduate in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Citizenship/Residency: Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or granted refugee status in Canada. (No work permits/student visas.)
