Company mission
To provide gamers with the best software, services, and hardware products.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience in AI/ML engineering, applied ML, or a closely related role
- Proficiency in C++ (required) — comfortable writing performant, maintainable code in a real-time or systems context
- Hands-on experience deploying machine learning models, ideally on-device / edge rather than purely cloud
- Familiarity with ML frameworks and runtimes (e.g. PyTorch, ONNX Runtime, TensorRT, llama.cpp / GGML, or similar)
- Understanding of model optimization techniques (quantization, pruning, distillation) and the trade-offs they involve
- Strong fundamentals in performance profiling and working within constrained compute/latency budgets
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Senior AI Engineer to join Razer Technology Team to design and ship local (on-device) AI models that run efficiently across gaming, biosensing, and peripheral applications.
- You'll work at the intersection of machine learning and real-time systems — taking models from prototype to optimized, production-grade inference that runs on the player's machine and our hardware, with tight latency and resource budgets.
- You'll be part of a ~25-person R&D team and collaborate closely with our haptics, audio, and platform groups
- Implement and optimize AI/ML models for on-device inference in latency-sensitive gaming and peripheral contexts
- Build and integrate models that process biosignal and sensor data (e.g. from peripherals and wearables) in real time
- Optimize models for performance and footprint — quantization, pruning, and acceleration across CPU/GPU/NPU targets
- Write efficient, production-quality C++ for the runtime and inference layers of our SDK
- Collaborate with platform, haptics, and audio teams to expose AI capabilities to game studios through clean, well-documented APIs
- Profile, benchmark, and continuously improve inference speed, memory use, and energy efficiency
Our take
Razer is a truly unique, all-encompassing lifestyle brand for gamers; it not only manufactures innovative gaming tech but also doubles as an in-game payments service, named Razer Gold. In 2018, the company also created a digital payment network for businesses and consumers across Southeast Asia.
Since entering the fintech market in SE Asia, Razer Fintech has become one of the largest online-to-offline digital payment networks in the market, tapping into Southeast Asia’s 430 million-plus unbanked and underserved population. Razer Gold has also seen substantial success, as it is one of the world's largest virtual credit services for gamers.
With this sort of creativity and a strong understanding of its market, Razer has been able to disrupt gamer-focused ecosystems around the globe. Its expansive catalogue of gaming hardware ranges from laptops to headsets to chairs, whereas its suite of software platform options brings in over 70 million users. The company is recognised as the leading brand for gamers in the USA, Europe, and China and is comfortably secure in maintaining that position.
