    • Develop and implement game features, particularly characters, quests, scripting, UI, and other gameplay elements;
    • Improve engine modules as needed to ensure proper implementation of game components;

    • At least one significant development experience on PC, Switch, Xbox, or PlayStation;
    • Ability to collaborate in an iterative and constructive manner within a team;
    • High adaptability, with a preference for versatility over specialization;
    • Interest in a wide range of programming areas, with a desire to learn and dive into new and diverse topics;
    • Strong autonomy and organizational skills;
    • Please note: 3D programming skills are not required for this role.

    What would set you apart?

    • Gameplay‑oriented mindset, comfortable with iterative design processes to create high‑quality interactive experiences;
    • Experience in PC/console development as well as mobile;
    • Knowledge of C# and Python;
    • Experience developing simple web services such as Apache/Python/JavaScript/MySQL (or equivalent);
    • Experience or interest in narrative‑driven games.

    Additional Information


    At DON'T NOD Montreal, we celebrate diversity and inclusivity within our games as well as our teams. We commit to equal opportunities and non‑discrimination in our hiring process. We are respectful of the principles of equal employment opportunities, and that is why we encourage women, people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, First Nations people, people living with a disability, visible minorities, as well as any other person who can contribute to the diversity of our studio to apply for our positions.

    We build close‑knit teams to encourage a fulfilling work environment for all our employees.

    Our teams enjoy a range of benefits, including flexibility, a generous holiday bank, time off, training and career development support, and a personalized Lifestyle spending account.

    Additional perks include:

    • The possibility of working anywhere in Quebec;
    • Insurance and virtual healthcare coverage as of Day 1;
    • An annual bank of 40 hours of menstrual leave;
    • Partial refund of transport fees (OPUS, BIXI and parking);
    • Access to gym and fitness classes as well as a multi-sports field in summer which turns into an ice rink in winter;

    • RRSPs with the employer's contribution.
