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.
Building on an incredible 30-year foundation, we're redefining football with EA SPORTS FC - a genre-leading ecosystem of interactive experiences, bringing a global community of football fans closer to The World's Game. Together, we're taking the largest football club in the world to new heights – and this is just the beginning!
With more opportunity than ever to create new, authentic experiences that bring joy, inclusivity, and immersion to fans everywhere, we invite you to join us as we pioneer the future of football with EA SPORTS FC, and welcome everyone to the club!
The Gameplay team on EA Sports FC 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.
