Job Description

CD PROJEKT RED is looking for a Machine Learning Researcher - Narratologist to join our R&D Team exploring potential new features for game development. In this role you will find and push the boundaries of computational narratology, the study of techniques to understand and react to (but not generate) narrative text.

Responsibilities:

  • Architect and build ML systems for complex narrative analysis.

  • Quantitatively improve key NLP models, designing and/or integrating new models.

  • Effectively leverage cloud infrastructure for training and serving.

  • Keep a finger on the pulse of SOTA for key topics.

  • Present results internally and possibly at external conferences.

  • Optimize ML systems for cost, latency, and quality.

  • Facilitate the deployment of results in demos.

Qualifications

  • Sophisticated experimental NLP background in academic or industrial research.

  • 5+ experience programming.

  • Fluent in Python and C++ (or Unreal C++).

  • Intellectually curious, ambitious, open-minded, and proactive.

  • Capable of taking high-level goals, making a plan, driving it forward, and being accountable for the results.

Nice to Haves:

  • Game development experience, especially in Unreal Engine. 

  • Relevant publications in narratology.

  • Personal projects in ML.

Additional Information

The application window for this position will close by March 1st, 2027.

This job can be hybrid/in-office or fully remote.

Health & Well-Being

  • Company-paid medical healthcare (dental, vision, and mental).

  • Free mental health support, including access to counseling, psychiatric care, and a variety of well-being webinars.

  • Paid leave — 26 days of vacation, 10 sick days, & 12 calendar holidays per year

  • RRSP with employer matching.

  • Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA) – $100 per month to use towards fitness, wellness, internet, home office equipment, learning, streaming services, and more.

  • Menstrual leave — employees who menstruate can take one extra day off when experiencing period pain.

  • RED Parents Network — support for working parents.

  • Flexible working hours.

Perks & Professional Growth

  • Trainings, lectures, and courses — internal workshops, knowledge-sharing initiatives, online tutorials, and e-learning classes are all available.

  • A welcome pack filled with goodies — to help you feel right at home once you join the team.

Life in the Office

  • Dog-friendly office — bring your pooch with you and look after them while working! There’s always a furry friend or two to meet.

  • Truly international working environment — a chance to meet and work with a diverse selection of people from all around the world.

  • No dress-code — we like to keep it casual.

This position is a new role.

Estimated pay range for this position:  $146,300 - $241,300 CAD annually. 

At CD PROJEKT RED compensation for our roles in North America are determined based on competitive market data, geographic location, and individual factors tied to business needs.
