• Create and maintain the documentation of our technical process. This helps us establish the best practices for our work and data structuring to improve teamwork and reduce bugs.
• Share your knowledge with the team so that the entire team improves on their own skillset. You will also drive your 3-people team towards its success.
• Keep track of new technical and technological developments at Ubisoft and in the industry in order to share these new learnings with our project. We expect you to become an advisor to the project and to discuss with your technical director peers on other projects, or other job families.
• Ensure your team participates in our optimization and debug efforts.
