Senior Software Developer - Game Integration & Capture Reliability

We are seeking a Senior Software Developer to join our team at Electronic Arts. 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.

You will work across dedicated Perforce streams, adapting 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:

• Integrate the shared capture SDK into dedicated streams for multiple EA titles
• Own ongoing merges from title development streams and resolve integration conflicts while minimizing long-lived patches
• Develop title-specific adapters for renderer outputs, camera state, input, physics, animation, navigation, audio, gameplay state, and action events
• Configure controlled capture modes, including fixed-timestep simulation, frame-rate control, and synchronization between simulation, rendering, audio, and input
• Establish reproducible capture builds tied to exact Perforce changelists, dependencies, configurations, and schema versions
• Develop automated validation that detects missing modalities, timing drift, dropped frames, corrupted output, and incompatible schema changes
• Profile and debug performance, memory, threading, and stability issues introduced by instrumentation
• 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
