About ForbocAI
ForbocAI is building the substrate for Autonomous Worlds. We are bridging the gap between rigid traditional Game AI and chaotic Generative AI by deploying local-first Neuro-Symbolic AI engines.
Our Technology
- Redux-Based Entity System: Data-driven, functional programming architecture with pure reducers and memoized selectors for deterministic game state management
- Behavior Tree AI: Hierarchical bot system implementing Safety → Mission → Combat → Default behavior nodes with utility-based action scoring
- Procedural Level Generation: Multiple algorithms with quality assurance validation pipelines
Our Technology Vision
- The Cortex: Local-first generative AI—hardware-accelerated SLM inference running entirely on-device for privacy-preserving NPC intelligence
- Edge-Resident Memory: RAG pipelines with browser-native vector search, enabling NPCs that remember, learn, and evolve through player interactions
- Neuro-Symbolic Bridge: Hybrid architecture where LLMs set high-level goals while deterministic behavior trees handle real-time micro-actions
- Decentralized Agent Economy: Tokenized NPC "souls" (memories, stats, trained logic) as portable, player-owned digital assets via IPFS and smart contracts
What We're Looking For
We are seeking a founding engineer to help build the next generation of autonomous gaming AI. You will have significant ownership and influence over the technical direction of the company.
Ideal Candidate
- AI/ML Systems: Experience with LLM inference, embeddings, RAG architectures, or agent-based systems
- Runtime Performance: WebWorkers, WASM optimization, or similar high-performance web/native tech
- Game AI: Behavior trees, GOAP, utility AI, pathfinding, or ECS-based game engines
- Web3 (Bonus): Solidity, IPFS, token standards (ERC-721/6551/7007), wallet integration
- Entrepreneurial Mindset: Desire for significant equity ownership and influence over product direction
- TypeScript Expertise: Strong functional programming skills with React hooks, Redux Toolkit, and immutable state patterns
- Game Development: Experience with game loops, Entity-Component-Systems, or physics simulations
- AI/Automation: Familiarity with behavior trees, utility AI, pathfinding (A*), or agent-based systems
