Senior Software Engineer, Agentic Workflows for Game Engines

Electronic Arts (EA); Redwood City (CA); Hybrid; USD 154,000 - 256,000; Full time

Job summary

Electronic Arts (EA) seeks a Senior Software Engineer to build an agentic harness for game logic generation, integrating creator-focused systems into the engine and implementing guardrails for safe, verifiable content generation.

You will collaborate with researchers, engineers, artists, and designers to translate prototypes into production-ready engine features while maintaining architectural integrity and developer usability.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with AAA game engines.
• 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, engineers, 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.
