Description
We are seeking a Senior Generalist Programmer to join our Paris studio team.
As a pioneer studio of Ubisoft, the Paris studio is behind some of the company's earliest successes since its creation in 1992.

- Bridge the GenAI gap: create easy-to-use wrappers and pipelines for real-time GenAI features.
- Release and platform management: streamline the build process and platform-specific deployments.
- Optimisation: ensure the framework is lightweight, efficient, and ready for public distribution.
Qualifications:
- 'Indie Dev' mentality: you are versatile and proactive, identifying game team needs and building accordingly.
- 'Platform' thinking: you enjoy building systems that others will use.
- Full autonomy: comfortable being the owner of the central codebase, responsible for stability and evolution.
- In-depth technical versatility: expert-level understanding of Unity, native plugins, and interfaces with external APIs/services.
- Curiosity about GenAI: enthusiastic about building infrastructure for real-time AI in games.
- Problem solver: results-oriented mindset, able to navigate complex documentation and technical blockages.
- Experience: proven track record of working on multiple video game developments, with experience in building reusable systems or managing complete production cycles.
- Communication: fluent English, able to explain complex technical concepts to game designers and artists.
