Principal Engineer, AI Platform

Deep expertise in distributed systems: event-driven architectures, durable execution, service mesh, and multi-tenant platform design

Production experience with authentication and authorization infrastructure — OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SPIFFE/SPIRE or equivalent workload identity, token exchange (RFC 8693), and policy engines (OPA, OpenFGA, or comparable)

Strong security engineering fundamentals: credential vaulting, secrets management (OpenBao/Vault), audit trail design, and least-privilege access at scale

Fluency in at least one compiled, systems-capable language (Go preferred, Rust or C++ acceptable); comfort reading and writing Go microservices is essential given the stack

Track record of owning multi-service platform architecture across a full product lifecycle — from design through sustained production operation

Exceptional written communication: design documents and architecture reviews that are clear, precise, and influence without authority

Epic Games is the creator of Fortnite, Unreal Engine, and the Epic Games Store — a company that has shaped the way billions of people play, create, and connect.

We build the foundational technology that powers some of the largest interactive experiences on the planet, and we give those tools to creators and developers around the world through open ecosystems.

Behind the products is an engineering organization that operates at rare scale: real-time infrastructure for hundreds of millions of players, a game engine used across film, architecture, and automotive industries, and a platform ecosystem that lets indie developers ship games to every major device on Earth.

Our AI Platform team is building the next layer of that infrastructure — an enterprise-grade stack of agentic AI systems that automates engineering workflows, accelerates developer productivity, and enables new kinds of collaboration across Epic's teams.

We're not a research group and we're not deploying off-the-shelf tools.

We're architecting and building production systems from the ground up, across six interconnected platforms:
