Online Programmer Scalar

Job Description

Do you want to be part of creating systems which will enable players to share unique experiences in our games? We are now looking for an Online Programmer to join our expanding Online team.

Ubisoft Scalar takes the components and systems of traditional game engines and transforms them into microservices in the cloud – moving from the closed, single processor systems of today to a distributed model across a potentially unlimited number of machines.

Cloud tech has levelled the playing field for online games, and our vision is to go above and beyond to create amazing online experiences. Your focus as an Online Programmer will be on bleeding edge online tech, and you will work on iterations primarily in C++, but with the opportunity to explore what Rust and Go can bring to the table.

As we work in cross-functional teams within the project, you will be interacting with people from many other disciplines and follow agile methodologies to move your work forward.

This is a permanent position based in Malmö Sweden, with the opportunity to work partially from home according to our Flexible Workplace Policy. Please apply in English (our company language), and we'll check your application asap!
What you'll do
• Identify and define technical solutions for bleeding edge online features
• Write clean, maintainable, portable code with the goal of bringing the best online experience to our players
• Ensure that new features and systems meet high performance requirements and match the project's C++ code style
• Document your work to share knowledge on how to use the new systems and functionalities
• Contribute to planning sessions and code reviews with your peers
• Work together with other international Ubisoft studios
