## Description

Electronic Arts creates superior entertainment experiences that inspire players and fans worldwide. Here, everyone is part of the story. As a Senior Game Designer, you will own the structures that turn mechanics into a game and creation into a community.

Responsibilities:

- Design, model, and maintain scalable, stable, and engaging game systems.

- Align systems design with engine architecture, data pipelines, and technical strategy, defining data schemas and config structures together with engineering.

- Refine player and creator journeys across sessions and over the player lifetime.

- Define telemetry, KPIs, and health metrics for every system you ship and own the analysis of whether those systems are working.

- Build and run agent-driven simulations of player personas, economies, and creator behavior to check balance and find failure states before launch.

- Design the rules, permissions, and safety constraints for creator-made content and for the agentic tools creators use, so that creation is easier, safer, and more rewarding.

- Identify systemic risks and provide clear mitigation plans.

- Contribute to engine, content, agentic, and research initiatives, turning research goals into production-ready systems.

- Create system diagrams, flow models, and automated balance and data-validation test suites.

Qualifications:

- 8+ years of professional game design experience, including shipped titles where you owned progression, economy, or rules systems in a AAA engine.

- Experience with quantitative modeling including probability, statistics, and simulation.

- Scripting and data skills (Python, SQL) plus engine scripting (Lua, Blueprint, C#) for data-driven systems.

- Working knowledge of gameplay domains (character, controls, UI, physics, animation).

- Experience using AI coding or agentic tools in a real production or analysis workflow.

- Experience with telemetry and analytics tooling including defining events, building dashboards, and turning data into design decisions.

- Experience getting productive quickly in large, unfamiliar game projects and data pipelines.

- Experience collaborating on product vision and research goals with engineering and leadership.

- Proficiency with design tools (Miro, Figma) for system diagrams and flows.

- Comfort working in CI/CD environments (Jenkins, GitLab): owning data-validation and balance tests.

- Proficiency with VCS tools (Perforce, Git).

Benefits:

- Ad-hoc bonus structure

- Comprehensive benefit packages, emphasising physical, emotional, financial, work-life and collective wellbeing

- Free games and more
