Data Analyst

How would you describe your position?

I analyze the effects of new features on KPIs. I help provide the team with analysis and insights which guide their decision making and design. I also design all the data tracking with help from the team.

What’s the best part of your job?

I really enjoy working with the team and seeing how my analysis help shape and improve the game.

How would you describe your team?

We're dynamic, passionate about our work, and friendly! It's great working with people who share so many common interests with you. I've been able to become friends with many of my coworkers.

What would you tell a friend who's considering working at Square Enix Montréal?

Mobile games are the current big platform for gaming as almost everyone has a smartphone these days. You'll never have a dull moment here. As long as you can show both your passion for games and expertise, you'll do great!

Danny

Presentation Director

How would you describe your position?

 

I'm responsible for the way the game and surrounding elements are experienced by players and eventual users. It usually involves working on user experience and 2D art inside and outside the game.

What do you like most about working in Art at Square Enix Montréal?

 

The fact that everyone can make a real difference in the game. No matter who you are or what your title is, everyone on the team contributes in any aspect of the game which gets people really engaged.

How would you describe your team?

 

Imagine working with the most extremely gifted people you know but they also happen to be the most down to earth. It creates a truly unique environment. I'm always amazed by what my colleagues can do and the fact that they are so open and collaborative impresses me even more.

What would you tell a friend that is thinking of applying for a position at Square Enix Montréal?

 

If you like a challenge and enjoy making impactful and meaningful contributions, mobile game development is for you.

Benjamin

Lead programmer

How would you describe your position?

 

I am primarily responsible for the game’s technology: architecture, requirement forecasting, feasibility, and time estimates.

What's the best part about your job?

 

At Square Enix Montreal we trust our employees. It's very demanding but also very rewarding, and it contributes to an atmosphere of "collaborative drive" and trust that is enjoyable and dynamic.

How would you describe your team?

 

Agile and motivated. Team members pushing each other to excellence in a fun atmosphere and in a spirit of cooperation.

What would you tell a friend that’s considering working at Square ENix Montréal?

 

The size of the teams! The pleasure of working together, with motivated and passionate people, in a way that is more crafted than industrial (but not just any old way!) can only be found in teams of less than 20-30 people. If you want to make high quality games in small teams, come join us!

Your first week

You got the job!

Congrats! Starting a new job can be stressful (not first-day-at-a-new-school stressful, but still.) To get you ready, here’s what you can expect from your first week.

  • Schedule permitting, on your first day you’ll be invited to a presentation by Patrick, our Head of Studio. He’ll tell you all about of our company culture, our past successes, and projects in production.
  • Whether we’re working from home or the studio, the first-week lunch with the team is a tradition. It’s your opportunity to get to know your closest collaborators and tell them all about you. (The promo code to order your favourite meal is on the house!)
  • Every Friday, we hold a Show & Tell, an all-hands-on-deck meeting where we share company news and project updates. You’ll put faces on names and get to introduce yourself. (No speech required; a quick hello is fine!)
  • Last (but not least!), expect a really nice package of branded goodies (we’ll say no more!)

WHY GO MOBILE?

We develop games that maximise the potential of mobile platforms and tactile screens for an optimal player experience. Where others see limitations, we see possibilities.

We could tell you that mobile games are the future, but truth is, the future is now, and you’ll want to be a part of it.

With 2.2 billion players worldwide, mobile games are appealing to every type of player.

Making mobile games at Square Enix Montréal means:

Putting your work in the hands of more players than you ever thought possible

  • Receiving real-time feedback from players
  • Having endless possibilities to innovate, reinvent, and reimagine for the potential of mobile devices
  • Being part of a small and agile team where creativity is key
  • Having as much responsibilities as you wish to take on
  • Spending time developing games, not managing task
