• Embrace cloud-native solutions and modern workflows to enable features and scope previously considered infeasible in game development
• Identify and define technical solutions for bleeding edge online features
• Write clean, maintainable, portable code with the goal of bringing the best online experience to our players
• Ensure that new features and systems meet high performance requirements and match the project’s C++ code style
• Contribute to planning sessions and code reviews with your peers
• Work together with other international Ubisoft studios
