ME News reports that on April 21 (UTC+8), according to monitoring by Beating, Alexandre Moufarek, Director of the Inception team at Google DeepMind, posted five job openings on X: Game Designer, Senior Product Manager, QA Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, and Staff Research Engineer—all linking to Google Careers. Prior to joining DeepMind, Moufarek worked at Ubisoft on two AAA games, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Watch Dogs, and later led product development for the Pepper home robot at SoftBank. At DeepMind, he has contributed to Project Astra, SIMA, Genie, and Gemini. The key lies in the role of the Inception team. DeepMind describes it as a creative, design, and engineering team working alongside research teams, aiming to explore gaming experiences impossible without AI. It is not a research group but a product team focused on turning research findings into playable prototypes. Examining the roles: among the five positions, Product Manager, Game Designer, and QA Engineer are roles that would not typically appear in a pure research team. Previously, DeepMind demonstrated a combination of SIMA 2 and Genie 3: SIMA 2 is a 3D virtual world agent based on Gemini, released in November 2025; Genie is a world model capable of generating 3D environments in real time. DeepMind connected the two, enabling the agent to execute commands within newly generated worlds. However, SIMA 2 remains a “limited research preview,” accessible only to a select group of researchers and game developers. This hiring round aims to transform these research demonstrations into deliverable products for external developers. (Source: BlockBeats)
