As our Engine and Infrastructure Tech Director, you will look at several aspects of the engine technology that we use to identify areas of improvements, as well as directing team efforts. You will work closely together with the Lead Technical Director as well as other Technical Directors and other discipline leads to make sure the technology we use is evolving in a direction that is beneficial for our game devs and project as a whole. You will also collaborate with other Ubisoft studios, as well as external partners to share knowledge and identify existing technology that we should adopt and possibly adapt, and develop new technology as needed.

We know you're passionate about games, and for us it's important that you get to thrive and succeed in a creative environment. To achieve this, we are creating strong autonomous teams who make decisions independently, having the freedom to try out new things and show why they work. For us it is important that you get to shine by being creative in your role: to take deliberate decisions, poke holes in things, navigate through known pitfalls when required to and care for your craft by honoring your commitments.

• Collaborate with the Lead Technical Director and the Technical Decision Board in the project to solidify a sound technical vision for the game.
• Manage a team of technical leads to plan, structure and assess the technical setup and infrastructure needs to deliver the gameplay part of the vision as a part of a complete product.
• You will lead, mentor and coach a team that can work across various areas of the project.
• Uphold our culture for collaborative innovation in the Stockholm Studio and in Ubisoft as a whole.
• Encourage our teams to navigate through ambitious and disruptive innovation.

Qualifications

We would love if you...

• Have extensive experience developing, debugging and optimizing tools and technology for AAA game engines & infrastructure or interactive real-time simulations.
• Have development experience in multiple game domains (for example Animation, Gameplay, Rendering, Tools, etc).
• Have extensive professional hands-on experience in several programming languages, with C++ being the most prominent one. Other relevant languages are Go, Rust, Python and PowerShell among more.
