Full Job Description

Introducing Moonlake, AI for creating world simulations. ABOUT MOONLAKE Moonlake is building the frontier of interactive world models: systems that generate, simulate, and reason over 3D environments for robotics, embodied AI, simulation, gaming, and multimodal agents. We are developing AI-native tooling for creating dynamic worlds where geometry, physics, visuals, audio, and interaction remain coherent in real time. Our team sits at the intersection of: - Embodied AI - Robotics simulation - Interactive 3D worlds - World models - Real-time generation - AI infrastructure Moonlake is building the next generation of AI infrastructure for interactive digital worlds. Our mission is to enable anyone to create, simulate, and interact with rich environments using natural language and multimodal inputs, turning simple ideas into worlds with structure, logic, and agents that can perceive and act. Our team has raised $28M in seed funding from NVIDIA Ventures, Threshold Ventures, AIX ventures and notable angels including Naval Ravikant and Jeff Dean to build the foundational layer for the future of AI - powering everything from creative tools and games to robotics training, simulations, and digital twins. Our goal is to make building and experimenting with these environments as accessible and scalable as publishing video on the internet. We are looking for exceptional research engineers and applied researchers to help push the frontier of interactive AI. THE ROLE We’re looking for a Forward Deployment Engineer — Gaming to help deploy Moonlake’s world-model and environment-generation systems into real-world gaming and interactive content workflows. This is a highly technical, customer-facing engineering role focused on: - gaming pipelines - environment workflows - world building - technical art systems - deployment and customization - simulation and benchmarking environments The ideal candidate combines: - strong software engineering fundamentals, - deep understanding of game de
