Remote | Game Developer — $25–$70/hour
About The Position
This is a remote freelance/contract consulting opportunity for experienced Game Developers to contribute technical expertise to advanced AI training and evaluation initiatives. The work combines practical game development, interactive testing, technical design, gameplay mechanics, and structured evaluation. Developers will design small-scale game projects and interactive scenes, create realistic gameplay debugging and feature implementation challenges, and produce reference solutions for evaluating AI agents. Prior experience with AI training projects is not required. Assignments may include building functional gameplay environments; implementing interactive components and game systems; introducing and investigating realistic bugs; developing gameplay features and fixes; creating and validating reference implementations; defining success criteria and test procedures; and conducting end-to-end playtesting. Deliverables include functional game projects, task specifications, reference solutions, test criteria, and technical documentation. The engagement is fully remote and pays an advertised rate of $25–$70 per hour, with output-based payment per completed task that meets project specifications. Task completion time varies, and minimum weekly task submission requirements apply. There are 20 available openings. Demonstrable game development work is central to candidate evaluation.
Requirements
- Demonstrated practical experience in game development, gameplay programming, or interactive software development.
- A portfolio or verifiable published work demonstrating game development expertise; examples may include personal projects, published titles, game jam submissions, or open-source contributions.
- Advanced proficiency with at least one major game engine: Unity, Unreal Engine, or Godot.
- Strong understanding of game engine editors, scene management, and debugging utilities.
- Practical experience implementing gameplay mechanics and interactive game systems.
- Proficiency with relevant scripting technologies such as C#, C++, GDScript, or Unreal Engine Blueprints.
- Ability to interpret, debug, and improve gameplay logic in existing projects.
- Experience identifying and resolving gameplay bugs through iterative testing.
- Familiarity with input systems, game states, scene interactions, and visual gameplay behaviour.
- Experience implementing features that interact with multiple game systems.
- Strong understanding of software debugging and structured technical problem-solving.
- Ability to design realistic game development challenges with clearly defined requirements.
- Experience creating reference implementations and validating technical solutions.
- Strong playtesting skills and ability to evaluate gameplay behaviour systematically.
- Excellent written communication skills for preparing task briefs and acceptance criteria.
- Strong analytical reasoning, attention to detail, and independent technical judgement.
- Ability to work independently and deliver technically accurate game development assignments.
