The Game Systems AI Evaluator Role

OpenTrain is recruiting a Game Design AI Evaluation Expert to develop and assess domain-specific content for AI systems. You will apply practical game-systems expertise to concepts involving player personas, progression, reward economies, quests, task boards, and interactive game-state logic.

The work combines hands-on knowledge of game design with structured comparison and quality evaluation of chatbot-generated outputs. This is a remote, flexible, project-based contractor engagement with a defined set of evaluation tasks and a planned duration of 16 weeks.

• Engagement type: Part-time contractor
• Time requirement: 20+ hours per week
• Planned duration: 16 weeks
• Work location: Worldwide and fully remote

What You’ll Do

You will evaluate game-design concepts as they develop through builder and canvas iterations. Your assessments will focus on whether mechanics are balanced, engaging, internally consistent, and aligned with practical game-design standards.

• Establish player personas and confirm the intended scope of game-design concepts.
• Develop and assess progression curves, XP systems, reward balance, quest mechanics, and board interactions.
• Validate leveling formulas, reward economies, game-state logic, and interactive elements.
• Review visual and domain fit as concepts move through builder and canvas iterations.
• Assess player engagement, balance, interactive storytelling, and overall system coherence.
• Compare multiple chatbot outputs and complete final assessments for defined evaluation tasks.
