At EA, we believe games are powerful because they bring together multiple ways people engage: play, watch, create, and connect. And increasingly, the biggest entertainment platforms aren't just places to consume content — they're places where communities build.
Creator-made content is already a proven part of EA's history — from community creation tools in Battlefield to The Gallery in The Sims 4. We believe new creative technologies and tools will expand how players engage with and contribute to our experiences, supported by thoughtful product design, safety systems, and global reach. Our focus is on enabling more players to participate in creative expression by making creation easier, safer, and more rewarding.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will collaborate with Research Scientists and Engineers to shape how new technologies integrate into backend architecture. You will translate ideas from exploration into systems that can operate at scale in a live environment. You will operate at the intersection of research and production, helping bring emerging technologies (e.g., AI-assisted creation, procedural systems) to a world-class engine used by millions of players.
This is a hybrid role, onsite three days a week, in Redwood City, Montreal, or Vancouver.
You will report to the Director of Engineering.
