Help shape the future of how games are built, tested, and played.
EA is investing in new ways to use AI to improve how games are developed, tested, and experienced. For these technologies to succeed, they need access to large amounts of gameplay data, including video, player inputs, telemetry, and other information collected across EA's games.
We're looking for a Software Engineer to help build and expand the technology that makes this possible. You'll work on systems that capture complex gameplay data with minimal impact on game performance, handle large volumes of information, and make that data searchable and accessible to teams building AI solutions.
This is an opportunity to solve challenging engineering problems across game engines, consoles, and cloud services. Rather than building for a single game, you'll develop technology that supports multiple EA titles and enables new capabilities across the company.

Build for scale: Design and develop services, APIs, and SDKs that support multiple games and large volumes of gameplay data.
Explore new technical challenges: Investigate new ways to capture and use data from complex game systems as technology and requirements evolve.
Own solutions from design to delivery: Help make technical decisions, develop solutions, and see your work used by teams across EA.
Collaborate across disciplines: Work directly with game developers, platform engineers, and AI teams to understand their needs and deliver solutions.
