Job Details

Genies is an AI avatar and games technology company powering the next generation of digital experiences. Genies' technology stack is rooted in empowering user generated content through the company's two main mantras:

“Anyone can create anything” & “Everything works with everything”

By combining these two guiding principles, individuals can craft limitless experiences while IP owners can build dynamic social gaming ecosystems powered by user-generated content (UGC) and AI Avatars—what Genies calls "Parties."

Genies' technology stack features a comprehensive suite of UGC tools that enable anyone to create AI avatars, complete with customizable fashion, props, behaviors, and personalities, as well as immersive AI avatar Experiences. At its core are the set of our Software Development Kits and Cross-Platform Frameworks, which leverage machine learning and computer graphics to ensure seamless interoperability across all UGC and AIGC avatars and experiences—unlocking boundless creative potential.

Early adopters of Genies’ first gen avatars include icons like Justin Bieber, Rihanna, J Balvin, Migos, and thousands more. With offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco, Genies has raised $200M from notable investors including Silver Lake, BOND, NEA, and Bob Iger.

Why Genies? You are curious about the future of avatar technology and empowering users to represent their digital selves. You have an underlying passion for encountering complex problems and creating smart, strategic solutions.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Prototype, build, and debug research-driven tools for 3D content creation on both cloud and mobile computing platforms.
  • Architect clean, extensible software and systems, emphasizing open standards and portability.
  • Optimize data structures and algorithms for enhanced speed, memory efficiency, storage, and low latency.
  • Share expertise in computer graphics with an interdisciplinary team, fostering knowledge exchange.
  • Collaborate with technical leaders and cross-functional teams, providing strategic guidance on the development and debugging of research-driven 3D tools.

What You Should Have:

  • Advanced understanding of 3D mathematics, including linear algebra, computational geometry, and numerical methods.
  • In-depth 3D graphics knowledge, including OpenGL, Vulkan, and shader programming.
  • Strong programming skills, with proficiency in C++ and Python.
  • Solid expertise in data structures, algorithms, design patterns, and testing frameworks.
  • Excellent teamwork and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams and with various stakeholders.
