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.
