« Pour visualiser la description de poste en français, veuillez sélectionner le français dans le menu déroulant au haut de la page. » At EA, we believe games are powerful because they bring together multiple ways people engage: play, watch, create, and connect. And 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 - from community creation tools in Battlefield to The Gallery in The Sims 4. 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 Senior Software Engineer, you will own the architecture and development of a shared platform for capturing synchronized, multimodal data from EA game engines. You will create the reusable systems that allow title teams and researchers to collect rendering, simulation, input, audio, and gameplay signals through a consistent technical interface. You will work across engine domains and title architectures to turn experimental instrumentation into a reliable platform. You will balance research flexibility with performance, stability, maintainability, security, and developer usability. This is a hybrid role, working three days per week in Montreal or Vancouver You will report to the Lead Technical Director.

Responsibilities

You will develop the architecture for a reusable in-engine multimodal capture SDK. You will establish the timebase and synchronization contracts across rendering, simulation, input, audio, and gameplay systems. You will develop shared capture interfaces for pre- and post-interface color, depth, normals, motion, camera, input, physics, animation, game state, and action events.

You will define buffering, serialization, encoding, session manifests, schema evolution, and delivery contracts for certified raw capture sessions. You will profile and optimize instrumentation to manage performance, memory, GPU, storage, and stability costs in complex real-time systems. You will partner with title integration engineers to create portable adapters and repeatable onboarding patterns across multiple game architectures.

You will build prototypes to evaluate new capture techniques and guide their transition into supported platform capabilities.
