Machine Learning Engineer, Memory

At the core of Epics success are talented passionate people. Epic prides itself on creating a collaborative welcoming and creative environment. Whether its building award-winning games or crafting engine technology that enables others to make visually stunning interactive experiences were always innovating.

Being Epic means being a part of a team that continually strives to do right by our community and users. Were constantly innovating to raise the bar of engine and game development.

Unreal projects have been leading the pack of real-time entertainment with our constantly growing team of engineering experts. Were always improving on the tools and technology that empower content developers worldwide.

As foundation models move from answering questions to acting over long horizons memory becomes a central requirement. Systems must decide what is worth keeping and improve from experience. Large context windows and retrieval systems are not enough. You will work with researchers on projects across the company that require memory in different modalities to define general solutions that enable models to represent experience decide what they keep and what they discard and to efficiently store retrieve and exploit memory.

• Design new memory architectures that work across problems modalities and products
• Define new ways to measure and evaluate memory performance
• Help create and deliver production-ready scalable and high-quality learning models and associated algorithms
• Critically assess the effectiveness of such models and make recommendations for the ongoing roadmap

• PhD in Computer Science Mathematics or related field or 3 years of relevant industry experience
• Experience creating machine learning algorithms for vision and/or language problems and deploying them as production-level systems
• Expert hands-on knowledge of:
  • Foundational models and vision and/or language incl. local deployment and model post-training of open weights models
  • Memory state or long-horizon behaviour in foundation models: your experience may come from language agents and long-context methods reinforcement learning under partial observability world models or sequence modelling
  • Python and associated ML tools/frameworks (numpy scipy sklearn pytorch)
• Experience with working collaboratively with other developers following a flexible and agile approach
