Electronic Arts creates next-level entertainment experiences that inspire players and fans around the world. Here, everyone is part of the story. A place where creativity thrives, new perspectives are invited, and ideas matter. At EA, we believe games are powerful because they bring together multiple ways people engage: play, watch, create, and connect.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will integrate EA's shared game-data capture technology into production game codebases and establish the systems that make instrumented title builds reproducible and maintainable. Working across dedicated Perforce streams, you will adapt title-specific engine systems to expose synchronized rendering, simulation, input, audio, and gameplay signals. You will own the path from an available title stream to a validated capture build.
This is a hybrid role, working three days per week in Redwood City, Montreal, or Vancouver. You will report to the Lead Technical Director.
Responsibilities:
- You will integrate the shared capture SDK into dedicated streams for multiple EA titles.
- You will own ongoing merges from title development streams and resolve integration conflicts while minimizing long-lived patches.
- You will develop title-specific adapters for renderer outputs, camera state, input, physics, animation, navigation, audio, gameplay state, and action events.
- You will configure controlled capture modes, including fixed-timestep simulation, frame-rate control, and synchronization between simulation, rendering, audio, and input.
- You will establish reproducible capture builds tied to exact Perforce changelists, dependencies, configurations, and schema versions.
- You will develop automated validation that detects missing modalities, timing drift, dropped frames, corrupted output, and incompatible schema changes.
- You will profile and debug performance, memory, threading, and stability issues introduced by instrumentation.
- You will translate researcher requests into title-specific implementations and identify requirements that should become shared capture-platform capabilities.
Qualifications:
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience in AAA games, real-time simulation, or similarly complex systems.
- Expertise in C++.
- Experience integrating or maintaining systems across game-engine branches.
- Deep familiarity with Perforce streams, merges, conflict resolution, and build reproducibility.
- Experience with game-engine runtime systems such as rendering, simulation, input, animation, physics, audio, or gameplay frameworks.
- Experience diagnosing timing, threading, performance, memory, and stability issues.
- Experience with build systems and CI/CD tooling.
- Python or similar scripting experience for build, test, and capture automation.
- Experience with telemetry, serialization, schema-versioned data, replay, or automated data validation.
