Senior Software Engineer

Electronic Arts is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join their team in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

In FC Quality Verification Engineering, the mission is to build technology, large-scale test automation, and AI-powered developer tools that help EA SPORTS FC teams understand game quality and decide when they are ready to ship.

The successful candidate will manage these systems from proposal to adoption, shape technical direction, write code, define success metrics, and mentor engineers on the team.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and implementation of closed-loop, multi-agent state machines, human-in-the-loop execution flows, and Generative AI testing frameworks for hyper-personalization systems.
• Develop distributed agent execution environment that autonomously runs and self-heals end-to-end tests across complex environments.
• Develop statistical validation solutions, probabilistic rubrics, and calibration frameworks to measure feature quality, model drift, and non-deterministic agent behaviour at scale.
• Own technical designs, build reusable components, and improve Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) workflows and distributed execution services.
• Diagnose failures across code, data, and infrastructure, fix root causes, and mentor engineers through code reviews and knowledge sharing.
• Act as product owner for the systems led: work with stakeholders to define and prioritize requirements, agree scope and success criteria, turn them into delivery plans, and keep partners informed of estimates, progress, risks, and dependencies.
• Learn and evaluate new engineering approaches, including AI-assisted workflows where useful, and measure improvements in reliability, feedback speed, and adoption.

Required qualifications:

• 10+ years of professional software development experience.
• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field that includes coursework or academic exposure to Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning concepts.
• Proficiency in C# or C++ and Python, alongside experience designing complex software systems, automated testing, and version control.
• Experience designing and independently implementing complex software systems, including interfaces, dependencies, and documented trade-offs.
• In-depth experience with LLMs, multi-agent orchestration, state machines, context/memory management, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
• Proficiency in statistical inference, hypothesis testing, variance reduction, and experimental design to build statistical testing solutions for probabilistic systems.
• Experience developing evaluation frameworks for generative systems, including dataset curation, LLMs-as-a-judge design, validation criteria, error analysis, and quantitative/qualitative metrics.
• Experience building test automation or developer tools, integrating them into CI/CD workflows, and debugging distributed systems using logs and telemetry.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary: $141,400 - $204,400 CAD per year
• Vacation time: 3 weeks per year
• Sick time: 10 days per year
• Paid top-up to EI/QPIP benefits up to 100% of base salary when welcoming a new child
• Extended health/dental/vision coverage
• Life insurance
• Disability insurance
• Retirement plan
