Computer Vision Engineer; Senior to Lead

About Snail Games USA

Snail Games strives to create the new high bar for gameplay experience in online gaming. We have been a global developer and publisher of digital entertainment since 2009 and are committed to pushing the boundaries of the industry.

Egofold is an AI initiative within Snail Games focused on building a modular AI “brain” ecosystem for NPC intelligence, real‑time perception systems, and simulation tooling across multiple game projects.

We are seeking a Computer Vision Architect to lead the design and implementation of a real‑time perception system that enables AI agents to understand and operate within complex game and simulated environments. This role will define how video, gameplay capture, and camera feeds are transformed into structured world representations that power intelligent NPC behavior and AI‑driven systems within the Egofold ecosystem.

You will work closely with engine, AI, and gameplay teams to architect scalable, production‑ready vision pipelines integrated with Unreal Engine–based projects.
