Generalist Engine Programmer (MOD 2025 program)

As a generalist programmer at Ubisoft Montreal, you’ll develop stable, high-performance tools and systems that support the studio’s creative goals and world-class games. Working across areas like game engine, editor, and middleware, you’ll tackle diverse technical challenges and contribute directly to the foundation that enables production teams to bring their ideas to life. 

Your journey at Ubisoft will begin with being trained on one of our internal Engines. From there, you'll dive into your first project, where you'll sharpen your skills by focusing on Build modernization and Engine modification.  

At the same time, we’re looking for someone who thrives under the hood, someone who loves reverse engineering, low-level tinkering, and solving complex puzzles. You’re not intimidated by legacy systems or old code and instead, you’re able to understand and adjust complex systems. Your adaptability and technical insight will directly influence the capabilities and success of the team. 

What you’ll do   

• Develop generic systems that will support the functionalities of the specialized programming teams + ensure their integration (engine, editor, or middleware). 

• Support the production teams by ensuring the stability and proper functioning of their systems and tools. 

• Program in a clear and structured manner while respecting performance, maintenance, modularity, extensibility, and compatibility requirements. 

• Be in constant communication with the production teams and the people who use your tools to respond to their requests and needs. 

• Monitor performance and memory budgets and adjust as needed. 

• Debug and optimize existing systems to facilitate the work of other programming teams. 

• Document your work to transfer your knowledge and allow production to understand the systems and their functionalities. 

• Keep abreast of advances in the field of programming.
