Job details

Job type: Full-time
Apply by: Oct 24, 2026
Experience: 8+ years of software engineering experience with AAA game engines (e.g., Frostbite, Unity, Unreal, Godot, or proprietary)
Posting language: English
Posted: Sep 24, 2026

Original job description

Description & Requirements

Electronic Arts creates next-level entertainment experiences that inspire players and fans around the world. Here, everyone is part of the story. Part of a community that connects across the globe. A place where creativity thrives, new perspectives are invited, and ideas matter. A team where everyone makes play happen.

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 help build the agentic harness that turns intent into working games and the loop that lets an agent write, run, evaluate, and repair its own work.

This is a hybrid role, onsite three days a week, in Redwood City, Montreal, or Vancouver.

Responsibilities

You will build and extend an agentic harness for game logic generation, covering tool orchestration, context management, and integration of these capabilities into the engine.
You will partner with engine developers, integrating creator-focused systems into our core engine architecture to enable generative creation workflows.
You will implement guardrails including sandboxed execution, permissioned tool access, content-safety and IP checks, and human review points before generated content reaches players.
You will build evaluation for agent output, including whether a generated game compiles, loads, holds frame rate, and matches intent, and turn those checks into automated regression suites that gate harness changes.
You will partner with researchers, engineers, artists, and designers to translate prototypes into production-ready engine features, ensuring alignment with existing systems.
You will design extensible interfaces that allow rapid iteration on new technologies while maintaining architectural integrity and developer usability.
You will define how you productize new technologies within the engine, influencing architecture and creator experience.

Qualifications

8+ years of software engineering experience with AAA game engines (e.g., Frostbite, Unity, Unreal, Godot, or proprietary)
Expertise in C++
Experience with Python
Experience with agentic harnesses and workflows (Claude Code, Codex, Opencode)
Experience with context engineering, graph engineering, and long running workflow orchestration
Experience with one or more game engine development domains (e.g., gameplay, simulation, systems, content pipelines, and performance-critical systems)
