We are standing up a small engineering team in Austin to build production agentic systems to address some of the least glamorous yet most valuable problems in our business.

If you have seen the forward-deployed engineering model at Palantir or at the AI labs, this is that pattern pointed inward. You’ll be embedded with a business function, learn how the work gets done, and ship a real system against it. Then you do it again somewhere else, and the platform gets richer each time.

Two of the first initiatives on our roadmap:

• **Jurisdictional licensing.** Working in gaming means our people hold occupational licenses, frequently across many regulators at once. Every jurisdiction wants overlapping but subtly different slices of the same personal and employment history, in its own format, with real consequences for getting it wrong. There is no canonical source of truth to draw from, so this is done by hand repeatedly today.
