Who We Are:
Ghost Story Games is a self-publishing game development studio founded by Ken Levine (Creative Director of System Shock 2, Bioshock, and Bioshock Infinite) and former Irrational Games developers. The studio's mission is to create narrative-driven experiences rooted in immersive world building and gameplay.
The Challenge
Ghost Story Games is seeking a talented remote Principal Game AI Engineer to join us on Judas, the highly anticipated game led by Ken Levine (System Shock 2, BioShock series). Unique in its bold, creative vision, Judas is also built upon novel technology by which the visual world, gameplay, and story unfolds in meaningful, dynamic ways. The result is a significant and personal journey adapted to each player's experience and offers a new approach to the art and storytelling of video games.
We are seeking a Principal Game AI Engineer to focus on the finalization and polish of our AI behaviors and systems. In this critical role, you will take ownership of bringing our AI systems to a "shipping-ready" state, ensuring the enemies within Judas react and behave in believable, compelling ways. Beyond technical implementation, you are expected to work closely with our design and animation teams to tune these systems and guarantee the best possible player experience.
The ideal candidate brings a proven track record of shipping games as an AI Game Engineer, pairing strong technical abilities with a deep passion for player experience.
What You'll Take On:
- You will own the implementation, hardening, and polish of AI behaviors and systems to shipping quality.
- You will collaborate closely with design, animation, and other disciplines to iterate on AI features, ensuring they support the creative vision and deliver an exceptional player experience.
- You will ensure the quality and stability of critical AI systems, taking responsibility for delivering highly reliable behaviors.
What You Bring:
- Extensive Unreal Engine 4 and/or Unreal Engine 5 experience.
- Deep experience with modern game AI architecture (Behavior Trees, pathfinding, perception systems)
- Experience with modern animation techniques like root motion, distance matching, motion warping, blend spaces, and state machines
- Strong knowledge of C++
- At least one shipped title working primarily on game AI, preferably a AAA title in the action and/or FPS genre
- Ability to quickly understand existing code and enhance/extend an existing architecture
Great to Have:
- Experience with closing down heavily dynamic and/or procedural systems.
- Support build automation processes as needed.
- C#/Python/Blueprint experience.

However, base pay offered is based on market location, and may vary further depending on individualized factors for job candidates, such as job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and other objective business considerations. Subject to those same considerations, the total compensation package for employees in regular roles may also include other elements, including a bonus and/or equity awards, in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, provided that temporary or intern roles will not be eligible for many of these payments or benefits.

Senior Level Game Producer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level game producer job?
Employers at this level look for demonstrated ownership of full production cycles, from concept through ship, on titles of meaningful scope. What gives candidates an edge is a portfolio of shipped games, evidence of leading and mentoring producers or cross-functional teams, and fluency in both Agile and milestone-driven workflows. Clear communication of how you resolved production risk and kept teams on schedule matters as much as the credits.
Which companies hire senior level game producers?
Companies hiring senior level game producers right now include Riot Games, Riot Games, and Worldscape, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from established game studios, major publishers, and interactive entertainment companies scaling up new projects or live-service titles.
Are there remote senior level game producer jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by studio and project phase. About 16% of senior level game producer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the industry's shift toward distributed production teams since the pandemic. Studios with existing remote infrastructure and live-service games tend to offer the most flexibility at this level.
What makes a game producer role senior level?
Senior level game producer roles are defined by scope, ownership, and leadership. Where a mid-level producer manages tasks within a defined project area, a senior producer owns a full production track or title end-to-end, makes prioritization calls with real schedule and budget consequences, and is accountable for team health and delivery. Mentoring junior producers and partnering directly with creative and engineering leads are standard expectations.
Which industries hire the most senior level game producers?
Senior Level game producer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Science & Research, and Banking & Financial Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring because they operate large, ongoing game development pipelines, live-service titles, or interactive media products that require experienced producers to manage complex, multi-team production environments.
