AI Architect (iGaming)

About the role

We are looking for an AI Architect to lead the design and implementation of agentic AI solutions for a group of iGaming studios. This freelance position will work closely with C‑level stakeholders and product owners to deliver production‑grade prototypes that integrate directly with real game math engines, back‑end logic, and client code.

Key responsibilities

• Design, build, and demo production‑grade agentic AI prototypes on the client’s actual game stack.
• Create transferable AI layers (harness + loop + graph) that work across multiple AI systems such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.
• Own technical architecture decisions, including model selection, deployment patterns, infrastructure design, cost estimation (including token economics), and monitoring.
• Prepare and run live technical demos, with recorded fall‑backs to ensure reliability.
• Produce technical documentation after each session: flow diagrams, component schemas, deployment views, and cost estimates.
• Engage senior client‑side stakeholders, presenting concrete solutions and articulating the advantages of the proposed approach.

Required profile

• Proven experience as a technical lead for AI projects, preferably in gaming or related real‑time systems.
• Comfortable interacting with CTO‑level stakeholders and translating technical decisions into business value.
• Ability to work autonomously in a freelance, part‑time (0.5 FTE) capacity while delivering visible, production‑ready results.

Required skills

• Agentic AI frameworks (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar).
• AI model selection, deployment, and infrastructure design.
• Cost estimation and token‑economics modeling.
• Monitoring and performance tracking of AI services.
• Prototype development on game math engines, back‑end logic, and client‑side code.
