Empower players to create content, limited only by their imagination. At Electronic Arts, we have many examples of players creating content, whether it be a skateboard park in Skate or fantastical mansions in the Sims 4.
To enable players to become creators, we are looking for a Software Engineer to shape the technology that powers creation. If you have experience with building services for user-generated content through modern techniques connecting multiple services together, we want to hear from you. You will work with an experienced team that has collectively built and worked on games and backend services for more than two decades. You will work with multiple developers to bring the next game services to life.
As a Software Engineer you will:
- Develop responsive, resilient, massively scalable, and globally available services that support millions of players.
- Embrace and apply the vision of SRE principles and Best Practices.
- Apply and improve service deployment and troubleshooting strategies that maximize uptime.
- Design, review, and implement APIs that are consistent and testable.
- Work with client engineers and designers to iteratively add features and improve APIs.
