Software Engineer II - Agentic Workflows
About The Position
Electronic Arts creates next-level entertainment experiences that inspire players and fans around the world. At EA, we believe games are powerful because they bring together multiple ways people engage: play, watch, create, and connect. Increasingly, the biggest entertainment platforms aren't just places to consume content — they're places where communities build. Creator-made content is already a proven part of EA's history. We believe new creative technologies and tools will expand how players engage with and contribute to our experiences, supported by thoughtful product design, safety systems, and global reach. Our focus is on enabling more players to participate in creative expression by making creation easier, safer, and more rewarding. As a Software Engineer II, you will help build the agentic harness that turns intent into working games and the loop that lets an agent write, run, evaluate, and repair its own work. This is a hybrid role, onsite three days a week, in Redwood City, Montreal, or Vancouver.
Requirements
- 3+ years of software engineering experience with AAA game engines (e.g., Frostbite, Unity, Unreal, Godot, or proprietary)
- 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
- Build and extend an agentic harness for game logic generation, covering tool orchestration, context management, and integration of these capabilities into the engine.
- Partner with engine developers, integrating creator-focused systems into our core engine architecture to enable generative creation workflows.
- Implement guardrails including sandboxed execution, permissioned tool access, content-safety and IP checks, and human review points before generated content reaches players.
- 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.
- Partner with researchers, engineers, artists, and designers to translate prototypes into production-ready engine features, ensuring alignment with existing systems.
- Design extensible interfaces that allow rapid iteration on new technologies while maintaining architectural integrity and developer usability.
- Define how you productize new technologies within the engine, influencing architecture and creator experience.
