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.

EA SPORTS™ is one of the most iconic brands in entertainment – connecting hundreds of millions around the world to the sports they love through a portfolio of industry-leading video games.

As one of the largest sports entertainment platforms in the world, EA SPORTS™ FC is redefining football with genre-leading interactive experiences, connecting a global community of fans to The World's Game through innovation and unrivaled authenticity.

With more opportunity than ever to design, innovate, and create new, immersive experiences that bring joy, inclusivity, and connection to fans everywhere, we invite you to join our passionate and dynamic team as we pioneer the future of football fandom.

The EA SPORTS™ FC Gameplay Team is at the core of the user experience. It is the strength of our franchise and is valued tremendously in the company. We attract passionate team members and make sure they stick around by providing support and growth opportunities. Gameplay SEs are much more involved in design than typical SEs, because even though high-level designs are provided by designers, details need to be implemented by the SEs. You will report into the Development Director of Gameplay.

Our workflow and supporting tools are advanced and allow us to work and iterate quickly, which in turn allows us to see our code changes directly in the game without much delay. Fixing gameplay bugs and seeing your code in action on the virtual pitch in a matter of minutes is an extremely satisfying experience.

Your Responsibilities:

Bring the vision of the artists and designers to life.
Design and write the code that runs and controls the game, incorporating and adapting existing libraries and writing custom code
Prototype new mechanics to prove designs and improve on mechanics.
Design technical designs for Gameplay systems.
Develop tools and workflows to produce new game features.
Work with a proprietary engine to develop shareable code and interface correctly with the engine.

Your Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in computer science or related field, or equivalent training and professional experience
Proficiency with C++ and experience in object-oriented design and implementation
Experience architecting and implementing A.I., character control, multiplayer, or other gameplay-related systems
Demonstrated knowledge of good software programming practices
Understanding of multithreaded architectures and synchronization principles
Excellent debugging experience using tools to help debug
Understand performance implication of Gameplay systems & algorithms and how to improve.
