About Grendel Games

At Grendel, we create serious games that drive real change in healthcare, education, and sustainability. Our award-winning titles don’t just entertain—they make an impact.

We are looking for a highly motivated and skilled AI Engineer to join our serious game development team. In this role, you will lead the development of a comprehensive organ and tissue asset library powered by deep learning technologies, with the ultimate goal of enabling realistic laparoscopic surgery training simulations for surgeons.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and implement deep learning algorithms for organ and tissue segmentation, classification, and generation.
• Collaborate with medical experts to integrate domain-specific knowledge into AI models and simulation workflows.
• Develop and maintain a high-quality organ and tissue asset library for surgical training applications.
• Conduct experiments, evaluate model performance, and optimize deep learning pipelines.
• Research and integrate the latest advancements in AI, computer vision, and medical imaging into the platform.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams including developers, artists, and simulation specialists.
• Present technical findings, recommendations, and progress updates to stakeholders and senior management.
• Support the scaling and deployment of AI systems and infrastructure.

Requirements

• At least three years of experience developing and implementing deep learning models, especially for computer vision, medical imaging, segmentation and classification, and image generation.
• Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field.
• Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch.
• Solid understanding of machine learning concepts, including generative AI models such as GANs and Diffusion Models
• Experience working with CT scans and medical imaging datasets: familiarity with medical imaging tools such as 3D Slicer is a strong plus.
• Experience with 3D modeling or parametric editing software, preferably Blender, or willingness to learn.
• Knowledge of MLOps practices and scalable AI infrastructure.
• Experience with Docker, containerization, and cloud platforms is highly desirable.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills with the ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment.

What We Offer

• Join us in creating games with a purpose where your work contributes to meaningful learning and training experiences.
• A salary package aligned with market standards.
• An annual personal development budget to support professional growth.
• Autonomy and responsibility in organizing and executing your work within a flat corporate hierarchy.
• Collaboration with a passionate and innovative team in a unique setting — our historic Dutch prison turned relaxed game studio.
• Flexible work arrangements, allowing remote work for part of the week or a fully remote position.
