Founded in 2012, Anshar Studios focuses on 1st- and 3rd-party game development for all major gaming platforms.
We currently employ over 200 specialists at our studio in Katowice, and we are always open to talented people who want to join us.
Working with Anshar gives you the opportunity to develop your skills, work on challenging projects, and team up with skilled people who share a passion for video games.
Anshar Studios is looking for a Head of AI Integration to take on a studio-wide role in Katowice, Poland. You will define how AI is used across the studio: responsibly, securely, and in line with our partners’ requirements. You will report directly to the Management Board and work closely with the Heads of all departments.
This role covers AI tools and workflows across the studio, not gameplay AI.
If you have a strong background in game development, hands-on experience bringing AI into production, and a clear sense of where AI does not belong, we would love to hear from you!
Responsibilities:
- Developing and continuously refining Anshar’s AI strategy, roadmap, policies, and standards in close cooperation with the Management Board and department Heads and leading their implementation.
- Setting the direction of AI integration across all departments in close cooperation with their Heads.
- Identifying and prioritizing AI use cases by business value, feasibility, and risk.
- Running pilots with department leads, evaluating their results, and scaling successful solutions.
- Building and coordinating a network of AI champions in every department, nominated together with its Head.
- Owning the approved AI tools list, usage rules, data-security standards, and the knowledge sources AI tools draw on, with partner materials strictly separated by project.
- Reviewing AI-related terms in partner contracts with our legal team, maintaining project-specific AI rules, and acting as Anshar’s point of contact for partners’ AI questionnaires and audits.
- Coordinating AI compliance and governance in cooperation with Legal and IT, including regulatory, contractual, IP, and data-security requirements.
- Building AI literacy across the studio through training, guidelines, and internal communication, and keeping expectations realistic, without hype or fear.
- Supporting Business Development and Production in leveraging AI capabilities for project proposals, estimates, and delivery models.
- Managing the AI budget, licensing, vendors, and a network of external experts, and reporting results and risks to the Management Board.
Requirements:
- At least 5 years of experience in game development or a related creative-technology field, with proven experience leading cross-functional initiatives.
- Proven experience introducing AI/ML tools into production workflows at team or company scale.
- Strong understanding of game production pipelines across art, animation, audio, design, programming, and QA.
- Solid grasp of the AI model landscape, including open-weight models, and of cloud vs. on-premise tradeoffs: cost, GPU availability, latency, security, and data residency.
- Experience designing evaluations for AI tools and pipelines: test scenarios, golden datasets, and clear acceptance criteria.
- Ability to prototype hands-on: connecting AI to studio systems through APIs, MCP, or automation tools.
- Working knowledge of AI-related legal and contractual risks: IP and copyright, vendor licensing terms, data protection, and confidentiality.
- Experience leading change across departments through influence, not only line authority.
- Ability to translate between creative, technical, and business needs, and to communicate with everyone from artists to partner executives.
- Knowledge of Polish and English (B1/B2 level).
Pluses:
- Experience in co-development or outsourcing: working inside partners’ pipelines and under their rules.
- Unreal Engine 5 experience.
- Python and UE5 editor scripting skills.
- Experience running locally hosted models in production.
- Familiarity with AI governance frameworks.
- Passion for video games.
We Offer:
- Flexible work hours (core hours 10–15).
- Hybrid work model: at least 3 days a week in our Katowice office.
- Private life and health insurance.
- Co-financed Multisport card.
- English lessons.
- Relocation support.
- No crunch.
- No non-compete policy.
- Pet-friendly office.
- Co-financed participation in selected conferences and workshops, counted as working days.
Submission / Portfolio Instructions:
- CV: required.
- In your application, tell us about one AI rollout you led and how you measured its results, and about one place where you decided AI did not belong.
