Founding Game Engineer — AI & 3D (Equity)

About Taskclan

Taskclan is a Canadian AI company building one connected ecosystem across Intelligence, Cloud, Studio, Engine, Enterprise and Lab.

This role sits within Taskclan Engine and will focus primarily on GameNova, our AI-powered 3D game-creation platform, and Forge3D + Spaces, our platform for generating, preparing and using 3D assets and environments.

The opportunity

We are looking for a Founding Game Engineer to help build the runtime, editor and generation systems behind Taskclan’s interactive 3D products.

You will work alongside our engineering, AI and product teams to turn prompts, generated assets and structured instructions into playable experiences. This is a hands-on founding role for someone who enjoys working across game systems, graphics, tools and performance.

What you will own

• Build and improve GameNova’s browser-based 3D runtime and editor
• Translate AI-generated instructions into scenes, mechanics and gameplay systems
• Create reusable templates for genres such as racing, action and first-person games
• Develop systems for cameras, input, animation, audio, lighting and physics
• Integrate GLB and glTF assets, rigs, animations and generated environments
• Build reliable asset-loading and content-processing pipelines
• Improve rendering performance, memory usage and loading times across devices
• Develop tools that make generated games editable, testable and publishable
• Collaborate with the AI team on structured game-generation outputs
• Establish engineering standards for testing, telemetry and runtime stability

What we are looking for

• At least three years of professional or equivalent game-development experience
• Evidence of a shipped game, engine, editor, simulation or interactive 3D experience
• Strong JavaScript or TypeScript experience
• Experience with WebGL, WebGPU, Babylon.js, Three.js, PlayCanvas or similar technology
• Understanding of 3D mathematics, rendering, animation and physics
• Experience working with Blender, GLB, glTF or comparable asset pipelines
• Ability to profile and optimize real-time applications
• Experience with Unity, Unreal, Godot, C++, C# or multiplayer systems is valuable
• Interest in AI-assisted game creation and procedural content generation
• The ability to commit approximately 15–20 hours per week initially
• At least three hours of collaboration availability with Eastern Time on agreed working days

Compensation and commitment

This is initially a part-time, equity-only founding role. There is no cash salary at present. The proposed equity range is 1%–2%, depending on experience, commitment and the final scope of the role.

Any equity grant will be governed by a formal agreement, four-year vesting, a one-year cliff and board approval. Our intention is to transition the position into a paid role once Taskclan secures sufficient financing or recurring revenue.

Why join now

You will help determine how AI-generated ideas become playable games and interactive 3D worlds. Your decisions will shape GameNova’s architecture, creator experience and technical foundation from an early stage.
