+# Clever Initiative Challenge
+
+The Clever-Initiative is a team of the Technology Group @ Ubisoft Montreal. Our goal is to discover, improve and promote state-of-the-art software engineering practices that aim to ease the production of quality. By augmenting the quality of our products, we mechanically improve the productivity of our teams as they can focus creating features rather than fixing bugs.
+
+The Clever-Initiative is the team behind the Submit-Assitant (a.k.a  Clever-Commit) that received some press coverage recently: [Wired](http://www.wired.co.uk/article/ubisoft-commit-assist-ai), [MIT](https://www.technologyreview.com/the-download/610416/ai-can-help-spot-coding-mistakes-before-they-happen/), and [more](https://www.google.ca/search?q=commit+assistant+ubisoft).
+
+We are currently looking for trainees to join us.
+
+## Trainees
+
+A trainee applicant must:
+
+- Be engaged in a computer science (or related) university program.
+- Be able to work in Canada legally.
+- Be willing to come to Montreal.
+- Be able to read, understand and implement scientific papers.
+- Know:
+- - versionning systems (git, perforce, ...)
+- - c/c++/csharp or java
+- Know or be willing to learn:
+- - golang
+- - docker
+- - sql
+- - angular
+
+## The Challenge
+
+The challenge for trainee applicant consists in parsing a few diffs--in the most efficient way possible--and compute the following statistics:
+
+- list of files in the diffs
+- number of regions
+- number of lines added
+- number of lines deleted
+- list of function calls seen in the diffs and their number of calls
+
+All these stats are to computed globally (i.e. for all the diffs combined).
+
+In the main.go file; you'll find the `compute` method that needs to be implemented.
+
+```golang
+//compute parses the git diffs in ./diffs and returns
+//a result struct that contains all the relevant information
+//about these diffs
+//	list of files in the diffs
+//	number of regions
+//	number of line added
+//	number of line deleted
+//	list of function calls seen in the diffs and their number of calls
+func compute() *result {
+
+	return nil
+}
+```
+
+To enter the challenge:
+
+- Fork this repository
+- Implement your solution
+- Open a pull request with your solution. In the body of the pull request, you can explain the choice you made if necessary.
+
+You can alter the data structure, add files, remove files ... you can even remove everything and start from scratch in another language if you feel like it.
+Note that we do use golang internally, however.
+
+## Permanent Positions
+
+We are also looking for permanent members. If you are interested, mail our human resource [contact](mailto:alison.laplante-rayworth@ubisoft.com?subject=Clever Initiative) with your resume. You can submit your pull request for the challenge However, you'll be subjected to an in-depth (much harder) coding test. This one has been conceived for students only ;).
