Job Description

As a team lead within the technology group of Ubi Annecy, you are the guide of a team of talented and inspired programmers and data scientists, responsible for the development of technologies essential to the creation of the games long awaited by Ubisoft fans. Your team successfully achieves its ambitions thanks to your technological know-how, your leadership and your ability to make informed decisions when facing challenges. You are proud and passionate about the systems you create together.

Your global vision and your understanding of the role of each member of your team allow you to coordinate the work and multiply the result of each person's efforts. When your team is motivated, collaborative and together, you deliver quality systems that interact in a coherent way, you know that you are helping to provide a rich user experience. Supervising your team really motivates you.

What you'll do

A typical day is to bring your team together to discuss the progress of the assigned tasks. You review notable bugs and see how best to approach them. You communicate regularly with heads of other disciplines to plan, assess risks and deliver on time. You are sometimes called upon to actively participate in the programming process with your team.

You keep your project manager up-to-date on the evolution of your mandates and you meet other managers, both from your project and from others, to discuss ways to improve processes and share technologies. You are also responsible for supporting each member of your team in improving their technical and interpersonal skills. You have their well-being at heart and you actively participate in their development within the organization.

More specifically, you will be responsible for managing a team focused on extracting insights from all of Ubisoft's code repositories as well as data from game crashes and performance profiling, with the goal of preventing the introduction of defects within games. This team is part of a larger domain of around 60 people, based in Montreal. Therefore you will be expected to share and collaborate with people with various expertises (engine runtime, data, backend, web front-end, desktop apps, QA, UX, product and project management) within the domain, as well as with partners in game productions and services
