Job Description

The Ubisoft Sherbrooke team is pleased to welcome new graduates to join us on Far Cry

If you've always dreamed of working in a renowned studio like Ubisoft, but prefer the proximity of a smaller team with personalized support to launch your career, this is the perfect opportunity for you. At Ubisoft Sherbrooke, you'll be working directly with industry experts, including veterans of renowned franchises like Far Cry, where you'll be able to exchange ideas and learn the craft. This is your chance to launch your career in a dynamic and positive environment, contributing to a AAA franchise, all in the heart of Sherbrooke.

As a Game Designer at Ubi Sherbooke, you'll be the creative energy behind a specific set of game systems and mechanics. You provide players with tools to build unique gameplay experiences and opportunities to make meaningful choices.

You go through an iterative, hands-on process of adjusting and balancing your design as you bring it from concept to playability. Throughout production, you shift your focus from the big picture to the micro details; tackling hurdles in development and stepping back to asses how all the pieces connect and affect each other. You tweak and tune until it finally happens: a smooth and engaging player experience emerges. 

What you’ll do

Design features aligned with the  creative and game directions  (e.g. gameplay rules, progression systems, combat systems, weapon attributes, artificial intelligence behaviours, 3Cs, etc.). Collaborate with cross-functional teams to  integrate your assigned features . Develop in-engine  prototypes  and evaluate their performance. Adapt to  technical and production constraints , reworking your design when and as often as needed. Participate in  finding solutions  to fix buggy features. Create and maintain  design documentation  that will guide interdependent teams. Follow up on features  post-launch to improve, add, or remove components.

Qualifications

What you bring

A college diploma in Game Design or equivalent (undergraduate degree an asset) Experience with game engines (e.g. Unity or Unreal) and productivity software (word processors, spreadsheets, etc.) An innovative, empathetic, and collaborative spirit Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills (you’re able to clearly explain your thought process on paper and in person) Critical thinking, curiosity, resourcefulness, and plenty of flexibility A solid understanding of the market and a passion for video games – you play enough to know what makes quality gameplay

What to send our way

Your CV highlighting your education, experience, and skills  Samples of your work (attach files or send us a link to your demo reel or online portfolio)

A real live person will review your application. In this case, it’s our talent acquisition specialist Charlotte.
