Job description

At Ubisoft, the Online Services - Player Identity team is looking for experienced software developers to help build and evolve the services that power player identity across Ubisoft games and online experiences.

Ubisoft Accounts are a critical component of our online ecosystem and are used across most Ubisoft titles. They play a central role in the player experience by enabling progression, access to services, social interactions, and more.

Our account ecosystem is closely integrated with authentication and profile services, forming the foundation of identity and access management across the Ubisoft platform. The team is responsible for delivering reliable, secure, and scalable account services while ensuring seamless integration with authentication and profile systems. We also develop and operate services that track user actions, helping customer support teams efficiently investigate and resolve player issues.

As these services support several strategic initiatives across Ubisoft, you will contribute to the design and development of robust, scalable, and secure solutions. You'll tackle challenging technical problems and help deliver simple, effective solutions within a complex distributed systems environment.

In this role, you will work with modern technologies and development practices, including:

• .NET Core
• Docker
• AWS (Aurora RDS, ElastiCache Redis)
• AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code)
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• CI/CD pipelines (GitLab)
• SonarQube
• Grafana
• Kibana
• React

Experience with C++ is considered a strong asset, as part of the role may involve contributing to the development of our SDK. Experience with React is also valuable for building and maintaining internal web-based administrative tools that interact with our services.

If you enjoy designing RESTful APIs, working with microservices on AWS, solving large-scale technical challenges, and collaborating within a DevOps culture, we'd love to hear from you.
