About Us
Nitrode is building an AI-powered game engine and platform that supercharges developers into expert game developers. Designed to break traditional timelines, Nitrode enables developers to create complex, fully functional games in just two days — a process that once took months or even years.
We’re pushing the boundaries of game development, and the next generation of top-tier games will emerge from Nitrode. Join us to revolutionize the gaming industry.

Responsibilities
• Design, build, and iterate on production-grade AI agents: tool use, orchestration, planning, and reasoning workflows
• Define and own evaluation and benchmark suites to measure agent behavior, response accuracy, and tool integration
• Build and maintain the infrastructure to support agent deployment, monitoring, and scaling
• Architect and develop the game asset generation pipeline: from raw inputs through feature extraction, alignment, structural modeling, and rendering or scene assembly
• Develop robust preprocessing, alignment, and calibration steps for multi-view inputs, and optimize for speed/quality trade-offs
• Research, evaluate, or prototype novel vision / structure from motion / 3D reconstruction / spatial consistency methods to improve fidelity and generalization
