Job summary

Electronic Arts in North America is seeking a Software Developer to help build an agentic harness for game logic generation within our engine, collaborating with engine teams to enable generative workflows and robust tooling.

This hybrid role (onsite in Redwood City, Montreal or Vancouver part-time) requires 3+ years in AAA engines, strong C++ and Python, and a passion for scalable, safe toolchains that empower creators while protecting quality.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of software development experience with AAA game engines (e.g., Frostbite, Unity, Unreal, Godot, or proprietary).
• Expertise in C++.
• Experience with Python.
• Experience with agentic harnesses and workflows (Claude Code, Codex, Opencode).
• Experience with context engineering, graph engineering, and long running workflow orchestration.
• Experience with one or more game engine development domains (e.g., gameplay, simulation, systems, content pipelines, and performance-critical systems).

Responsibilities

• You will build and extend an agentic harness for game logic generation, covering tool orchestration, context management, and integration of these capabilities into the engine.
• You will partner with engine developers, integrating creator-focused systems into our core engine architecture to enable generative creation workflows.
• You will implement guardrails including sandboxed execution, permissioned tool access, content-safety and IP checks, and human review points before generated content reaches players.
• You will build evaluation for agent output, including whether a generated game compiles, loads, holds frame rate, and matches intent, and turn those checks into automated regression suites that gate harness changes.
• You will partner with researchers, developers, artists, and designers to translate prototypes into production-ready engine features, ensuring alignment with existing systems.
• You will design extensible interfaces that allow rapid iteration on new technologies while maintaining architectural integrity and developer usability.
• You will define how you productize new technologies within the engine, influencing architecture and creator experience.
