I'm surprised Ubisoft is hiring Senior DevOps Engineers through Y Combinator. Have they moved away from their in-house recruitment process?

What are some potential downsides of this role being YC W20? Are there any restrictions that could impact career growth for those hired this way?

That's a good question, and I worked closely with Y Combinator before. I don't think there will be any downsides besides having to follow their guidelines, but there shouldn't be restrictions hampering your growth.
