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 Software Developer in Test on our Research & Engineering team, you will help ensure the quality, reliability, and scalability of next‑generation creative technologies. This includes AI‑driven tools and content pipelines used by developers and players. You will work at the intersection of research and production – partnering with engineers and researchers to build robust testing systems, automate validation at scale, and ensure new technologies meet the bar for performance and reliability in live environments.

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