Generalist Programmer - Warm Up program

Ubisoft’s 19,000 team members, working across more than 30 countries around the world, are bound by a common mission to enrich players’ lives with original and memorable gaming experiences. Their commitment and talent have brought to life many acclaimed franchises such as Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Watch Dogs, Just Dance, Rainbow Six, and many more to come.  

Ubisoft is an equal opportunity employer that believes diverse backgrounds and perspectives are key to creating worlds where both players and teams can thrive and express themselves.  

When you join Ubi MTL, you’ll discover a workplace that sparks inspiration and connection. We offer a collaborative space that provides career advancement, a host of learning opportunities, and meaningful benefits centred on well-being. 

If you are excited about solving game-changing challenges, cutting edge technologies and pushing the boundaries of entertainment, we invite you to join our journey and help us create the unknown. 

At Ubisoft, you can come as you are. We embrace diversity in all its forms. We’re committed to fostering a work environment that is inclusive and respectful of all differences. 

Seeing as how this would be your first programming job in the video game industry, you’d be an excellent fit for our Warm Up program. Are you interested in Generative AI, online services and multiplayer? 

By joining Warm Up, you'd be hired as a permanent, full-time Ubi employee without being assigned to a specific project straight away. That means that you will have a programming job on a production team. We just want to give you a bit more time to prepare for it. 

During the three-month program, you’ll be overseen by technical experts who will simulate what it’s like working on the production floor to help you get ready for the real thing. 

You'll take part in code reviews, feedback sessions, training, mentoring and presentations. You'll have the opportunity to improve your technical skills in programming languages, tools, engines, by developing prototypes, with a particular emphasis on Generative AI tools. You’ll also gain an overview of Ubisoft’s online/multiplayer services.

You’ll refine your soft skills, such as communication and time management. 

Additionally, you’ll gain a better understanding of the company through various activities, including playing Ubisoft games for 1 hour each day to expand your gaming knowledge (and to have some fun, of course!).    

When the program comes to an end, you’ll meet with production teams who will present their projects. Then, with our support, you’ll be able to decide on the best possible match. 

You’ll then join a team and hit the ground running in your new programming role at the studio.
