Job description

Overview

Are you ready to dive into the world of cutting-edge video game development? Headquartered in Montreal, Behaviour Interactive is at the forefront of the gaming industry, crafting unforgettable experiences across PC, console, and mobile platforms. We’re a dynamic, independent studio of over 1200 passionate employees, with studios in Toronto (Behaviour Toronto), Rotterdam (Behaviour Rotterdam) and in the UK (Behaviour UK–North & South). Our day to day revolves around two core business focuses: Services and Original Games. Our Services team collaborates with gaming and entertainment giants like Disney, Sony, Activision, and Nintendo, delivering exceptional work-for-hire development and pioneering immersive location-based entertainment (LBE). Meanwhile, our Original Games unit pushes our creative limits, with our signature IPs, including the iconic Dead by Daylight. Join us and be a part of the future of interactive entertainment!

At Behaviour Interactive, we believe in giving everyone a fair shot. We embrace a diverse and creative environment where everyone is celebrated. We value folks of all ages, sex, ethnicity, colour, ethnic or national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, civil status, disability, or any other protected characteristics as per applicable law.

Note: This job listing has been edited to clarify both the role and Behaviour's intended AI applications.

Behaviour is exploring the use of generative AI tools to improve internal workflows - not for anything that ships in our games.

Role and responsibilities

• Behaviour Interactive is currently seeking a senior programmer to participate in the development and integration of solutions in an R&D context towards bridging the gap between Generative AI technologies and internal workflows.
• In this role you will:
• Develop a wide variety of backend and frontend experimental, scalable and secure features.
• Implement unit and functional tests to ensure existing features continue to function after major changes.
• Collaborate with your peers. You will work with other programmers, technical leads, and managers on the team. Some features may require close collaboration with members of other teams.
• Stay at the forefront of technology trends, constantly seeking innovative ways to improve our internal workflows.

What we're looking for

• This is a senior role. You must have at least eight (8) years of experience as a programmer with full-stack experience.
• Experience with generative AI. You must have experimented with generative AI and prompt engineering for at least one (1) year and have curiosity toward concepts such as language models (LLM), RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), agents, and tool-calling.
• Versatile. You must be a generalist programmer capable of working on a wide variety of features: low-level and high-level code, features, bugs and tests, frontend and backend.
• A strong interest in generative AI and research in this field.
• Good knowledge of Python and languages such as C#, C++, or JavaScript/TypeScript.

Nice to have

• Full-stack experience (AWS, Terraform, Google Cloud, etc.).
• Experience with vector databases (PostgreSQL, Chroma, Meilisearch, etc.).
• Experience with game engines (Unreal Engine, Unity).
• Familiarity with generative AI tools for video, image, or content creation, such as Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI.

Atouts (French)

• Expérience full-stack avec des technologies comme AWS, Terraform, Google Cloud;
• Expérience avec des bases de données vectorielles (PostgreSQL, Chroma, Meilisearch, etc.);
• Expérience avec des moteurs de jeu (Unreal Engine, Unity);
• Familiarité avec des outils d’IA générative pour la création de vidéos, d’images ou de contenus, tels que Stable Diffusion et ComfyUI.

Behaviour Interactive est actuellement à la recherche d’un·e programmeur·ses senior·e pour participer au développement et à l’intégration de solutions dans un contexte de recherche et développement, visant à rapprocher les technologies d’IA générative des processus de travail internes. Vous aurez l’opportunité de découvrir votre véritable potentiel en explorant les capacités de l’IA générative.
