Game Designer (Splinter Cell) – Ubisoft Toronto

Published On: 12 September 2022Categories: Careers

As a Game Designer at Ubisoft Toronto, you will 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.

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
Experience designing AI is an asset
A solid understanding of the market and a passion for video games – you play enough to know what makes quality gameplay!
