AI Research Engineer, Model Optimization and Inference

The Mission At Iconic, our virtual actors don't just generate “text” or “actions"—they perform. They need to speak, move, and perceive in milliseconds, often running locally on a player's machine alongside a rendering engine. You will bridge the gap between massive research models and the constraints of real-time interactive entertainment. The Role You will architect and build the inference engine that powers our digital entities. Your main task will be tearing apart the model architecture to m…
