Company Overview

Stemuli is reimagining the future of learning by merging AI, video games, and workforce development. Backed by the Gates Foundation, Stride Learning, Heartland Forward, and leading venture capitalists, Stemuli is scaling its AI-powered video game platform across the U.S. (including a large-scale student rollout with the largest online school in the United States and a 20-state Heartland Forward initiative). Our platform equips students to learn math, master AI literacy, and become entrepreneurs through immersive gameplay.

Position Overview

As an AI/ML Engineer, you will lead the development of AI systems that power the Game Founder Tycoon, a first-of-its-kind entrepreneurship simulation inside our 3D learning game. You'll design economic simulations, industry-building mechanics, and AI-driven market dynamics that teach students AI literacy through building, scaling, exiting, or failing a business. Your work will directly shape how students learn financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and career pathways while playing.

Responsibilities

Build AI-driven economic and simulation systems that model industries, supply chains, and market behaviors within the game.
Design dynamic balancing systems that allow players to earn, invest, and scale virtual businesses tied to real-world skills.
Collaborate with game designers and Unity engineers to integrate AI models into the Founder Tycoon gameplay loop.
Apply LLM, reinforcement learning, and agent-based modeling to create lifelike NPC interactions and market dynamics.
Develop tools for data ingestion and analysis to measure student engagement, learning outcomes, and workforce readiness.
Partner with educators and researchers to ensure simulations align with career pathways and learning frameworks to drive measurable wage gains.

What We're Looking For

3–5+ years of applied AI/ML engineering experience.
Strong skills in Python, machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow), and LLM fine-tuning.
Experience with simulation, reinforcement learning, or agent-based systems (e.g., multi-agent frameworks).
Comfort integrating AI into Unity-based game environments (working with C# engineers).
Data-driven mindset with experience in building analytics pipelines to measure impact.
Passion for building AI that unlocks human potential and transforms education.

What We Offer

Opportunity to pioneer AI-driven game economies and simulations for education.
Work closely with a multidisciplinary team of game designers, AI engineers, and educators to deliver a category-defining product.
$160K – $185K annual salary + meaningful equity.
Hybrid: Dallas & Seattle -based AI team with flexibility.
Comprehensive benefits package.
