Job Description

As an R&D Programmer within Ubi MTL’s La Forge, your role will be threefold: you will develop research prototypes alongside scientists, transform proof-of-concept prototypes to production-ready technologies and simplify how people work together within your team.

Your technical expertise paired with your communication skills will be invaluable in all that you do. On the research side of your job, you will work closely with scientists to create and iterate on research prototypes. On the transformation side, you will adapt prototypes to minimum viable products, easing the hands-off to game development teams across the company. And on the simplification side, you will create and maintain prototyping tools, standardize processes, and share best practices to increase efficiency at La Forge.

Inside La Forge, the Smart Bots team focuses on research with applied Reinforcement Learning and Imitation Learning techniques for Smarter Agents in Gameplay and AI. We target many different applications, such as navigation, game balancing, testing, collaboration, adaptive difficulty, and believability.

About La Forge

La Forge bridges academia and video game production, bringing together scholars and industry experts to facilitate technical prototyping based on the latest academic progress. Together, we explore subjects such as rendering, animation, AI, audio, and physics to tackle some of the biggest challenges in art and tech in gaming. Dedicated to innovation, we aim to accelerate research and development through prototyping to help content creators build increasingly believable worlds and better understand our players.
