Top Engineering Jobs in Montréal, QC

Leads the design, development, and evolution of tools supporting AAA game content creation and development workflows. Builds Unreal Engine editor tools and standalone desktop applications, provides technical leadership in C++, mentors programmers, collaborates across disciplines, and improves performance, usability, stability, automation, and scalability. The role also oversees architecture, testing, documentation, debugging, data pipelines, and integration with external services.

Creates and maintains character and object rigs for video games, including skinning, cloth and physics setups, facial rigs, retargeting, and game integration. Diagnoses animation issues across tools and pipelines, optimizes assets for performance, and develops workflows, tools, and technical documentation. Collaborates with animators, artists, and programmers. Requires expertise in Unreal Engine, MotionBuilder, and Maya, with at least four years of 3D game character animation experience.

Designs, develops, and maintains Unreal Engine editor tools, standalone desktop applications, automation utilities, and content pipeline integrations for AAA game production. Responsibilities include debugging complex tool issues, improving performance and usability, collaborating with end-users and engineers, contributing to tools architecture, documenting code, and mentoring junior programmers. The role requires strong C++, Unreal Engine, tools development, data workflow, and version control experience.

Creates and maintains character and object rigs for video games, including skinning, cloth physics, facial rigs, retargeting, and control systems. Integrates characters into Unreal Engine, diagnoses animation and pipeline issues, and optimizes assets for performance. Develops animation tools and workflows, supports DCC and in-game setups, documents technical processes, and collaborates with animators, artists, and programmers.

Tests game features throughout development, including functional, regression, performance, and integration testing. Reproduces and documents bugs, analyzes severity and root causes, verifies fixes, maintains test plans and cases, and helps preserve build stability. The role collaborates closely with designers and engineers, uses debugging tools and game engines, evaluates usability and player experience, and communicates blockers and actionable feedback.

Leads the design, development, optimization, and long-term technical direction of Unreal Engine systems for an AAA game. Responsibilities include engine architecture, low-level programming, performance and memory optimization, platform integration, debugging, engine upgrades, coding standards, technical planning, and mentoring engine programmers. The role collaborates across gameplay, rendering, tools, pipeline, and production teams.

Design, implement, and maintain scalable UE5 gameplay systems for systemic, multiplayer, and user-generated content. Build features for traversal, combat, vehicles, AI interactions, and player-driven mechanics. Support networking, replication, debugging, profiling, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to prototype, iterate, and productionize robust, extensible gameplay frameworks.

Design, implement, and optimize Unreal Engine engine-level systems for mobile (iOS/Android). Focus on performance, memory, power, platform integrations, profiling and debugging on real devices. Collaborate with rendering and gameplay teams, maintain engine code, support mobile features (asset streaming, memory budgeting), mentor junior engineers, and follow team standards for clean Unreal C++ code and version control.

Design, implement, optimize, and maintain Unreal Engine systems for iOS and Android. Focus on performant C++ code, profiling and debugging across CPU/GPU/memory/power constraints, platform integrations, and tooling. Mentor junior engineers and collaborate with artists, designers, and engineers to deliver scalable mobile experiences and continuous live-ops support.

Design, implement, optimize, and maintain performance-critical systems in Unreal Engine across Engine, Rendering, AI, or UI. Translate requirements into scalable C++ code, debug complex runtime issues, profile and optimize performance, integrate with artists/designers, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to technical architecture and engine customizations for production-ready game systems.
