The EA Digital Platform (EADP) organization powers the global EA ecosystem. We provide the foundation for all of EA’s incredible games and player experiences with high-level platforms like Cloud, Commerce, Data and AI, Gameplay Services, Identity and Social.

We’re behind the curtain, making it all work together.
The Challenge Ahead:
Live service games are designed to keep players engaged and retained for years. They achieve this through continuous content updates, events, and personalized experiences. These games are the primary revenue generator for EA, accounting for approximately 75% of net bookings in FY23. Unlike traditional games released once and forgotten, live service games pose unique challenges for game studios regarding content creation, configuration, delivery, and personalization.
As a Backend Software Engineer, your work will involve building and maintaining the Live Services toolkit designed to support and empower EA's live services teams.
You will report directly to the Director of Engineering and collaborate with multiple Studios within EA. Your primary responsibility will be to lead our services' software design and architecture process, maintaining an inner source code repository and execution of new features while continually optimizing the performance and scalability of the product. You will also work with product managers to create new features to support EA's many games.
Additionally, you will champion best practices within the engineering team, demonstrating what good looks like as a role model and mentor to the team.
