CDI Senior Online - Network Programmer H/F Gameloft Paris

$Main challenge

We're building a networked game, and that means going deep into the engine's low-level networking layer. You'll join the project right from preproduction to lay the network foundations of a game designed multiplayer from day one, not bolted on afterwards.

$What it means on a daily basis

You'll be the person who turns networking from a constraint into a solid foundation for the whole team. Concretely, you will :
Design and implement the game's network architecture in Unreal Engine, working directly with the Game Programmers (GPP), and define the Gameplay team's networking strategy through concrete features
Set and hit network performance targets (latency, bandwidth, stability) using Unreal Insights
Own network TRC compliance on every console and flag certification blockers before they happen
Set up continuous integration and automated network testing, and keep it running
Train the GPPs on network best practices, become their go-to person on the subject, and document your technical choices for the GPPs and QA

$What success will look like

You're fully embedded in the team and you understand the game's networking end to end. You've already rolled out your first network recommendations and training sessions for the GPPs.

$Who you would be working with

You'll report to François Karr, our Technical Director and work daily with people from across the studio :
The whole GPP team
Our Online Lead
Our Studio Technical Coordinator
The Game Design team and QA

Team rituals : 3 stand-ups a week, plus dedicated syncs per theme or feature.

$What's in it for you

This is a rare chance to shape the network of a game from day one, with a lot of ownership and a front-row seat at the crossroads of several teams. Here is what you'll get :
A founding role on the network of a game built from preproduction onward
Real technical autonomy, from prototype to certification
A role at the crossroads of several teams (GPP, Game Design, QA)
Health insurance, RTT days, meal vouchers, and Gameloft's studio perks
