JOB DESCRIPTION

As a Principal Engine Programmer, you will be a reliable solution finder, someone who can jump in with any problem while demonstrating collaborative leadership within our engineering teams.

You will need to switch between multiple threads and leverage your experience with complex codebases, taking ownership of core engine technology, bringing innovative solutions, and debugging challenging problems. We encourage you to expand your knowledge and help shape best practices across the team.

In this role, your ideas will be highly valued as you work alongside your Lead and Technical Director to shape and contribute to the team's direction. You should have a hands-on approach with a broad understanding of architectural systems and various technical systems to help the project reach its full potential.

This is an excellent opportunity to become a leader on an unannounced AAA title and influence the codebase not only for your project but potentially across Ubisoft. We offer the freedom to test your abilities, research, and implement innovative solutions within AAA game development.

* Ownership of delivering core engine technology for scalable projects
* Experience with optimization and performance metrics across hardware
* Proficiency across multiple hardware platforms
* Understanding of project planning and a collaborative approach

Joining Ubisoft means becoming part of an inclusive global brand. You will build on your success and contribute to our world-class AAA games, helping position our studio as a market leader.

We offer a strong knowledge base in the games industry and excellent career progression opportunities within a critically acclaimed brand portfolio.

What we’ll provide

We prioritize our people’s creativity and wellbeing, which is why we create engaging AAA titles and foster a collaborative, inclusive environment. Our hybrid working model requires on-site presence approximately 3 days per week, promoting a vibrant work culture.

* Flexible working arrangements, 25 days of annual leave, Christmas shutdown, and options to work remotely within the EU for up to four weeks per year
* Life and income insurance, private healthcare, an annual well-being allowance, and more
* Resources for personal and professional development
* Paid volunteering days and community investment
* Fun activities, free games, and celebrations

We are committed to mental health and wellbeing, recognized as a Gold Employer in the Mind Workplace Wellbeing Index and partners of Safe in Our World. We offer training and resources to support mental health proactively.
