You’ll be joining a newly formed Automation and AI team at Aristocrat, passionate about redefining how we develop, operate, and maintain our live games. Our mission is to build pipelines, tools, and solutions powered by AI that automate repetitive tasks, lower operational overhead, and open new creative opportunities within Product Madness. This team combines a startup outlook with the strength of a well-established gaming powerhouse.

You’ll enjoy the agility to innovate alongside the resources to make a real impact.

As an Automation and AI Engineer (Unity & Backend Technologies), you will deliver complete solutions that integrate efficiently with our Unity gaming platforms and backend systems. Your work will impact live game operations, player experiences, and the pace and quality of our production cycles. You will work with designers, data scientists, QA teams, and developers to compose, build, and launch innovative tools and workflows using the latest AI developments.##

## What You'll Do
* Build, develop, and maintain both front-end (Unity) and back-end services (APIs, microservices, databases) to support tools and automation workflows driven by intelligent systems.
* Implement secure, scalable, and high-performance features that integrate with existing game codebases and infrastructure.
* Develop and support custom Unity editor tools to streamline repetitive tasks, such as content creation workflows, build pipelines, and performance checks.
* Leverage Unity’s scripting APIs to integrate AI services and automate manual steps in the development and liveops processes.
* Develop and optimize server-side applications and microservices that power AI features, data processing, and real-time analytics.
* Work together with Dev Ops on CI/CD pipelines to automate testing, deployment, and monitoring of solutions powered by artificial intelligence.
* Work closely with data scientists and AI specialists to integrate machine learning models, autonomous agents, and other advanced AI techniques into Unity and backend systems.
* Evaluate emerging AI tools and frameworks to determine feasibility, integration points, and return on investment for the business.
* Implement automated testing strategies (unit, integration, functional, regression) to ensure reliability and maintainability of new and existing systems.
* Work together with game developers, architects, and product managers to identify challenges and opportunities for automation and AI application.
* Document builds, workflows, and guidelines for broader internal adoption.
* Actively seek out areas for optimization, new tools, or process upgrades, and remain informed about the latest AI, gaming, and automation trends.## ## What We're Looking For
* More than 5 years of professional experience in full stack development, preferably within a gaming setting.
* More than one year of professional experience in AI and Automation development and implementation.
* Proficiency in Unity (C#) with proven experience crafting editor tools, game modules, or liveops features.
* Strong back-end development experience with a modern language (e.g., Java, C#, Python, or Node.js) and frameworks (e.g., ASP.NET, Django, Express).
* Experience with databases (SQL and/or No

SQL) and crafting RESTful APIs or microservices architectures.
* Familiarity with Dev Ops & CI/CD practices and tools (Git, Docker, Jenkins, etc.).
* Solid understanding of software engineering guidelines (build patterns, code reviews, testing, and version control).
* Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally in an agile environment.## ## Nice to Have
* Experience with AI/ML frameworks (Tensor Flow, PyTorch, OpenAI APIs) or integrating third-party AI services.
* Cloud platform experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP) including serverless computing, container orchestration (Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code.
* Familiarity with gaming analytics,…
