Job Description

As a Game Designer at Ubi MTL, 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 the 3C features aligned with the creative and game directions.  
  • 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 t

Qualifications

What you bring

  • A college diploma in Game Design or equivalent (undergraduate degree an asset)  
  • At least 7 years of experience in video game production or related experience  
  • 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)

Please note we are committed to promoting a flexible working policy, as we value in-person interaction and collaboration. Our hybrid work model includes a minimum of 3 days a week in our office and the remaining 2 days working from home.
