Technical Architect (Machine Learning Platform)

Job Description

The DNA team develops and manages a variety of data services and tools for storing and analyzing game telemetry. Known as a company-wide reference and trusted source, our products provide:

• real-time visibility on how Ubisoft titles are played; and

With a focus on usability and scalability for our clients, you’ll help conceive the future of the product from a technical standpoint, while closely collaborating with tech leads, data developers, and data scientists to build a platform capable of making relevant and reliable recommendations. And, eventually, touch upon other domains within Ubisoft.

What you’ll do

Within a Scrum/Agile environment:

• Partner with other teams within DNA and the studio to identify technical opportunities for the platform.
  
• Piece together internally developed components as well as open source solutions to build a cohesive machine learning platform to be used by production teams and other teams within Ubisoft.
  
• Help coach data developers on the team at a technical level.
  
• Collaborate on decisions on the machine learning platform to improve its quality.
  
• Have a global perspective on machine learning platforms to help position Ubisoft as a leader of the domain.
  
• Monitor technological advancements and trends to help develop our best practices.
