  • Identify technologies to adopt and make recommendations for both new tool development and improvements to existing systems.
  • Work to automate processes to support a smooth workflow.
  • Collaborate with production team members (artists, designers, etc.) to truly understand their needs.
  • Share with your colleagues in the tools community about your respective innovations and learnings.
  • Be aware of technological advances in the fields of programming and video game production.

QUALIFICATIONS

What you bring

  • A Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering (or other relevant training)
  • Experience in software programming or other relevant experience
  • Excellent command of various programming languages, particularly a minimum of 5 to 6 years of experience in C++ and a good experience in C#

  • Versatility, as you will be involved in almost all areas of production (design, audio, AI, etc.)
  • A good understanding of CI/CD principles and associated tools (e.g., GitLab)
  • Good analytical and synthesis skills as well as attention to detail
  • Ability to work in a team and good interpersonal and communication skills
  • Autonomy, curiosity and resourcefulness that will push you to interact with others and always learn more about your job
