Job description
Ubisoft is a global leader in gaming with teams across the world creating original and memorable gaming experiences, from Assassin’s Creed, Rainbow Six to Just Dance and more. We believe diverse perspectives help both players and teams thrive. If you’re passionate about innovation and pushing entertainment boundaries, join our journey and help create the unknown!
As a Games Security Specialist at Ubisoft Montréal, you will be fully embedded on For Honor as the owner and executor of the Player Protection domain for the project. This is a single‑project role, focused on protecting fair play and community health within For Honor’s live environment.
You will work hands‑on with production, online, data, moderation, and security partners to identify issues, coordinate responses, and drive concrete mitigation actions related to cheating, exploitation, matchmaking abuse, toxicity, ban evasion, and account‑related abuse . This role emphasizes execution, follow‑through, and operational impact, not just reporting or strategy definition.
What you’ll do
- Drive and execute player protection actions for For Honor, from issue identification to mitigation and validation
- Coordinate and implement anti‑cheat and anti‑exploitation measures, ensuring fixes are tested and effective
- Analyze and address matchmaking abuse, ban evasion, and repeat offenses impacting competitive integrity
- Lead operational responses to toxicity and abusive behaviors, in collaboration with moderation and support teams
- Orchestrate incident triage and intervention, including sanctions, fixes, and follow‑up actions
- Maintain and apply intervention playbooks and decision matrices to ensure fair, consistent outcomes
- Track player protection risks, trends, and outcomes, and adjust actions based on live data
- Act as the day‑to‑day player protection point of contact for the For Honor team
- Raise awareness of security, fairness, and player experience trade‑offs during production decisions
- Contribute to continuous improvement through threat monitoring and post‑incident reviews
What you bring to the team
- Knowledge or awareness of online games or live operations involving security, trust and safety, anti‑cheat, or moderation
- Ability to execute and follow through on cross‑team actions in live environments
- Solid understanding of game security risks, abuse patterns, and exploitation vectors
- A player‑centric mindset that balances fairness, consistency, and community health
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Comfort working with data, dashboards, and signals to support operational decisions
- Ability to document findings, decisions, and outcomes in clear, accurate, and shareable formats
- A collaborative approach and respect for diverse perspectives
