Description
We want you to #JOINTHEREBELLION!
For 30 years we've been independently developing and publishing incredible video games at our multiple studios founded by Jason & Chris Kingsley, but Rebellion is more than just games. We have our own film studio, we create board games, publish books, and through 2000AD, publish comics and graphic novels such as the amazing Judge Dredd.
We're seeking a skilled and innovative Machine Learning Engineer to join our cutting-edge ML Team. You'll be part of a small, highly collaborative group dedicated to pushing the boundaries of AI/ML technology in gaming.
You will support design, engineer, validate, and assist to deploy, and improve machine learning systems that operate across research, development, staging, production, monitoring, and continuous improvement lifecycles.
You will work within machine learning discipline, but have intersection with computer vision, NLP, geospatial and multimodal data pipelines, production engineering, and internal tools that support real game development delivery. We are especially interested in candidates who can translate promising research into usable, maintainable, scalable systems.

- Build robust pipelines for photogrammetry, terrain intelligence, point cloud processing, DEM analysis, and satellite-data-driven asset preparation
- Train, evaluate, fine-tune, and optimize models for quality, reliability, and production performance
- Support Head of ASIE to move ML capabilities from experimentation into staging and production-ready delivery
- Contribute to reproducible, testable, observable, and maintainable ML systems
- Support model packaging, inference workflows, versioning, monitoring, and long-term improvement
- Work across governed engineering environments, with attention to traceability, validation, and secure delivery
- Under guidance of Head of ASIE, support collaboration with code, art, design, production, engineering, and technical stakeholders to ensure outputs are useful in real development workflows
- Support to develop reusable ML libraries, tooling, and frameworks that can support future game projects
- Document approaches, dependencies, assumptions, and operational procedures to support team delivery and sustainable ownership
Essential
- Strong Python engineering skills, with proven hands-on machine learning experience
- Solid experience building, training, evaluating, and improving ML or DL models
