  • Proven track record refactoring complex engine code written by others;
  • Razor sharp problem solving mind set and meticulous attention to detail;
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills and a collaborative attitude;
  • Expertise in version control (Git, Perforce), with hands-on experience handling complex merges and cleaning up code from external partners;
  • Working knowledge of shader languages such as HLSL or GLSL;
  • Familiarity with low level graphics APIs such as Direct X 12 or Vulkan (an asset);
  • Experience porting between engines (e.g., Unity ↔ Unreal) or into custom native runtimes (an asset).


Benefits


  • A competitive salary based on your skills;
  • A regular schedule of 37.5 hours per week;
  • Remote working according to your preferences;
  • Access to 5 days of flexible time off to rest or literally do anything you want;
  • A guaranteed treatment plan that will give you peace of mind on sick or appointment days;
  • Attractive group insurance offering a wide range of coverage (health, dental, travel, short and long term salary insurance);
  • A Telus Health telemedicine platform;
  • Monthly allowances on the TEDY platform to allow you to spoil yourself a little;
  • A group RRSP with an advantageous employer contribution;
  • A real impact on original and varied projects;
  • Free healthy snacks offered every day;
  • An office in Quebec City;
  • Time off during the holiday season;
  • Access to your own personalized space in an open, bright and trendy environment;
  • International clients in the toy and entertainment industries;
