Description
Electronic Arts creates incredible entertainment experiences that inspire players and fans worldwide. Here, everyone is part of the story, part of a community that connects people globally. It's a place where creativity thrives, new perspectives are welcomed, and ideas matter.
As a Software Engineer II on the FC Mobile team, you'll help shape the technical foundation that powers the world's most popular mobile football experience. We're seeking a highly skilled Web Fullstack Engineer to design, architect, and maintain high-performance web views, web-based platforms, and rich media web applications.
You will act as a key technical standard-bearer for the web stack, partnering directly with the Technical Director to propose and refine operational excellence while collaborating with the Lead Engineer to ensure seamless feature execution. This is a pure technical leadership role focusing entirely on technical excellence, architectural design, strict code governance, and hands-on delivery.
Responsibilities:
- Technical Leadership & Operations:
+ Act as a key technical standard-bearer for the web stack, enforcing coding standards, contributing heavily to architecture discussions, and conducting rigorous code reviews to ensure performance, security, and maintainability before shipping. + Proactively analyse system performance, identify bottlenecks, propose and justify new technical or operational KPIs, and help establish monitoring pipelines to track them. + Leverage your architectural knowledge of HTML5 Canvas (2D/WebGL) and GSAP to guide the team in building smooth, high-performance, and lightweight visual elements within embedded mobile web views. + Design and develop robust web systems built on the MERN stack, focusing on database efficiency, caching via Redis, and ultra-low latency under high-concurrency, live-service loads. + Partner with product owners and technical stakeholders during the planning phase to assess technical risks, evaluate implementation feasibility, and outline mitigation strategies before coding begins.
- Delivery Collaboration:
+ Collaborate closely with the Lead Engineer to align on execution plans, technical task breakdowns, and high-impact feature delivery. + Provide accurate technical complexity estimates, de-risk execution paths, and take hands-on ownership of coding the most complex, high-traffic backend/API and frontend components. + Provide day-to-day technical mentorship and hands-on guidance to SE I and SE II engineers, helping elevate the technical bar across the team.
Qualifications:
- Core Requirements:
+ 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a solid history of delivering robust web systems. + Strong, production-proven experience with React.js and Node.js (MERN stack). + Experience conducting thorough code reviews, establishing best practices, and mentoring junior/mid-level developers to maintain high code quality. + Exceptional debugging, performance-profiling, and troubleshooting skills across both frontend and backend layers. + Strong communication skills with a track record of partnering successfully with Lead Engineers, Product Owners, or Technical Directors to align on technical directions. + Exposure to scaling web applications, including using caching strategies with Redis or handling high-concurrency environments.
- Preferred Qualifications:
+ Prior experience developing and optimising web pages to run smoothly inside mobile web views or resource-constrained mobile browsers. + Familiarity or prior experience with HTML5 Canvas (2D/WebGL) and animation libraries (like GSAP or PixiJS) is a major advantage.
Benefits: Electronic Arts offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical insurance, mental wellbeing support, pension plans, paid time off, family leave, free games, and more. We foster an environment where our teams can give their best in what they do.
