Technical Writer

As a UX Writer at Ubi MTL, you’ll come up with the words that help players understand what things are and what they need to do in a live game.

You’ll write user interface copy to intuitively describe and explain, in and around gameplay: instructions, menus, buttons, and more.

As an online gamer yourself, you know that when it comes to communicating, time is limited. Player-facing information needs to be conveyed clearly and consistently – at precisely the right place at exactly the right time.

With every new release, you’ll deliver copy that leaves no room for doubt. No confusion. No frustration. Just straightforward, uncomplicated interactions – and a player journey that’s as smooth as it gets.

What you’ll do

• Partner with your UX team lead and UX director to understand the game’s overall vision + develop its communication strategy.
• Collaborate with the user research team to grasp player needs, motivations, behaviours, etc.
• Work closely with designers to discuss design intentions to transform them into easy-to-understand features and concepts.
• Write clear, consistent, concise UI copy (item descriptions, tutorials, menus, settings, notifications, etc.).
• Create and maintain guidelines and style guides (voice, tone, vocabulary, etc.).
• Balance design, narrative and visual aspects with technical constraints (especially space restrictions).
• Brainstorm and research content ideas + identify opportunities to improve the player experience through copy.
• Support co-development requests from our UX teams in other studios.
• Collaborate with the localization team, who will adapt text into different languages.
• Follow up on content post-launch and rework it based on feedback.
