CCP Games is seeking a Senior AI Engineer to help build and shape our AI capabilities inside EVE Online.

This is a high-impact role with significant ownership. You will join a small, experienced team that is already delivering meaningful AI-driven work across CCP, spanning data science, machine learning, and production systems. The platform is still forming, and you will play a key role in shaping it from the inside.

The team combines strong data science foundations, including player behaviour modelling, early value detection, and churn and lifecycle insights, with growing investment in production-grade AI systems. Your work will have a direct, measurable impact, helping shape how AI influences real decisions in the game and supporting experiments that affect players in meaningful ways.

We are looking for someone comfortable working across the boundary between data science and software engineering, equally at home working with data and models and building robust software to bring them into real use.

The role can be located in Reykjavik or London, and relocation to Reykjavik or remote work is possible for the right candidate.
