Technical Lead (Architect) – Technology Group

Job Description

At the Technology Group (TG), we provide tools, middleware, and services adapted to the needs of Ubisoft game production teams. Be it front-end or back-end solutions, tools, or expertise, we support our productions throughout their life cycle. Through collaboration and innovation, we contribute to boosting the efficiency of pipelines and the development of products to deliver quality games to millions of players worldwide. Exploring ideas, experimenting with new technologies, and implementing stable ones are part of our daily life.


One of the solutions we’ve developed at the TG is DTest, a primary distributed test framework and InnerSource project for automated testing, used by several game teams, like Rainbow 6, Assassin’s Creed, and Far Cry.

As a Technical Lead (Architect), you’ll guide DTest into the future, steering it – and its many contributors throughout Ubi – in a unified direction.

More specifically, you’ll evolve and improve DTest: ensuring the scalability, stability, and continuous performance of all aspects of this framework while supporting a group of programmers in creating high-quality and feature-rich components.

A seasoned developer, you’ll be the technical reference for not only the team dedicated to maintaining the project but also the community contributing to it.

What you’ll do

• Play a key role in setting DTest’s technical direction and priorities.
  
• Build infrastructure as code + design custom tools and scripts as necessary.
  
• Define and promote storage, cloud, and build pipeline standards and requirements.
  
• Foster communication with game teams to understand their needs & offer technical advice and guidance.
  
• Mentor and motivate your team of programmers, empowering them to innovate, perform at their best, and develop their technical skills.
  
• Provide technical oversight by reviewing code & ensuring that contributions from the community are integrated safely and efficiently.
  
• Create and maintain accessible technical documentation that will serve as a company-wide reference.
  
• Anticipate, assess, and troubleshoot complex, escalated issues (related to storage, cloud services, etc.).

Qualifications

What you bring

• Experience in DevOps tooling
• A deep understanding of build pipelines, build automation, and continuous delivery
• Proficiency in C++ and C#
• Experience managing reproducible infrastructure & creating and maintaining a microservice architecture
• Solid communication skills that allow you to enhance collaboration in distributed teams
• A desire to share your knowledge to push the boundaries of technology & help others learn and grow
  

Nice to have, but not essential:

• Experience managing or contributing to open source projects
• Experience with Elasticsearch, Mongo DB, MySQL, Docker, and Kubernetes

Just a heads up: If you require a work permit, your eligibility may depend on your education and years of relevant work experience, as required by the government.
