Job Description

Beyond Good & Evil 2 is an action-adventure sci-fi RPG and set in the same universe as Ubisoft’s original cult classic. Join the crew at Ubisoft Mainz and help us create beautiful game worlds with cutting edge graphics.
As a Senior 3D Programmer you will be both a hands-on programmer and a direction-providing mentor across the 3D spectrum to connect with our players on two of the most critical aspects of a AAA game: its visuals and its performance.  

Your main responsibilities are to:

• Write and review code customized to the hardware you’re working with.
• Coach and mentor other members of the graphics team, empowering them to innovate.
• Provide support to content creators, meeting often to assess their needs and vision + discuss limitations.
• Improve existing graphical features and inspire the development of new ones.
• Anticipate complex problems + propose adapted solutions, considering the entire production pipeline. 
• Explore new hardware and deal with the interesting challenges and opportunities it poses.
• Stay up to date on the latest tech trends and techniques + recommend our best practices.

Qualifications

• Undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
• Around 5 years of graphics programming experience (for video-game consoles a huge plus) or related experience
• Proficiency in C++ 
• Analytical and mathematical Skills
• Knowledge of GPUs, HLSL, and modern graphics APIs (e.g. DirectX 12 and Vulkan) + understanding of game engines and their limitations
• A thorough grasp of memory management & multithreaded programming techniques
• Solid interpersonal and presentation skills & the ability to clearly communicate cross-departmentally
• A long-term approach to problem-solving (if the solution isn’t sustainable, it simply won’t do) 
• A collaborative and innovative spirit
• Willingness to continue learning – new technologies, engines, rendering techniques, programming languages, you name it
• Technical proficiency in areas of 2D and 3D art a plus

Your benefits: 

• Flexible working hours
• External training, education in our in-house guilds and knowledge sharing with other teams
