Description & Requirements

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 collaborate with Research Scientists and Engineers to shape how new technologies integrate into core engine architecture. You will translate ideas from exploration into systems that can operate at scale in a live environment. You will operate at the intersection of research and production, helping bring emerging technologies (e.g., AI-assisted creation, procedural systems) into a world-class engine used by millions of players.
This is a hybrid role, onsite three days a week, in Redwood City, Montreal, or Vancouver.
You will report to the Director of Engineering.
Responsibilities:
Own the development of generative game logic generation and generative tool orchestration, and integrate those tools into the engine.
-
Partner with engine developers, integrating creator-focused systems into our core engine architecture to enable generative creation workflows.
-
Partner with researchers, engineers, artists, and designers to translate prototypes into production-ready engine features, ensuring alignment with existing systems.
-
Contribute across engine domains, including tools, data pipelines, and runtime systems, to improve the capabilities of the engine.
-
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.
Qualifications:
8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including experience with AAA game engines (e.g., Frostbite, Unity, Unreal, Godot, or proprietary)
-
Experience with large C++ codebases
-
Experience with Python
-
Proficiency across one or multiple engine development domains (e.g., gameplay, simulation, systems, content pipelines, and performance-critical systems)
-
Experience navigating unfamiliar areas of a large codebase and becoming productive quickly in tools, pipeline, or runtime systems
-
Experience collaborating with others to translate applied research goals into production-ready engine features
-
Experience with emerging technologies such as AI/ML, procedural generation, context engineering, creator tooling systems
-
Experience writing agentic tooling and function calling
-
Experience with structured output and schema design
-
Experience contributing to engine architecture or developer-facing platforms.
-
Proficiency in CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab)

- Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field
Tips for Your Developer Tools Job Search
Showcase your own tooling projects
Hiring managers for developer tools roles expect to see code you've shipped publicly. Link to open-source libraries, CLIs, or SDKs you've built or contributed to, and write a sentence in each project description explaining the problem it solved for other developers.
Quantify developer experience improvements
Generic claims like 'improved build performance' don't land. On your resume, anchor every impact to a metric developers care about: reduced CI run time, faster local setup, or lower API error rates. Numbers that reflect developer productivity cut through.
Filter openings by the platform layer you target
Developer tools is a broad category. Narrow your search with terms like 'platform engineering,' 'DX engineer,' 'SDK,' or 'internal tooling' to surface roles that match your specialty. Applying to a precise match beats applying broadly to any posting with 'tools' in the title.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists developer tools openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a live demo for the technical screen
Many developer tools interviews include a walkthrough of something you've built. Have a short, rehearsed demo of a real project ready to share in a browser tab or terminal. Interviewers notice when you can explain tradeoffs in design decisions without prompting.
Negotiate around your tech stack preferences
Developer tools teams often have flexibility on languages and toolchains. In offer discussions, clarify which parts of the stack are fixed and which are open. Expressing a grounded preference for a particular runtime or build system signals hands-on depth, not inflexibility.
Developer Tools Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most developer tools engineers?
The companies hiring the most developer tools engineers right now include Apple, Amazon Web Services, and Oracle, with the largest share of openings in California, Tennessee, and Michigan, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Demand is highest at cloud platform companies, infrastructure startups, and enterprise software teams building internal developer platforms.
How many developer tools jobs are remote?
About 50% of developer tools openings are fully remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how distributed the engineering culture tends to be in this specialty. Roles focused on developer experience, documentation tooling, and SDK development are the most likely to be fully remote, while platform engineering roles that require close collaboration with on-site infrastructure teams skew toward hybrid arrangements.
How do you become a developer tools engineer?
Start by building something other developers can use, even a small CLI or library, and publishing it publicly so hiring managers can evaluate your work directly. Deepen your understanding of build systems, package distribution, and API design patterns. Contributing to established open-source tooling projects builds both practical skill and a visible record. Move toward roles with 'platform,' 'DX,' or 'developer experience' in the title to enter the specialty formally.
How do you get hired in developer tools with little experience?
Focus on shipping something small but polished, such as a command-line tool, a testing helper library, or a VS Code extension, and document it well. Apply to companies that have an internal tooling team rather than a dedicated developer tools product, where the bar for prior specialty experience is lower. Highlight any role where you've automated workflows, improved a build process, or written tooling for teammates, even if that wasn't your official job title.
What does the developer tools interview process look like?
Most developer tools interviews include a resume screen, a technical phone screen covering systems design or language fundamentals, and a take-home or live coding exercise focused on building a small tool or extending an existing API. Final rounds typically include a system design discussion around extensibility and performance, a walkthrough of a past project you've shipped, and a conversation with engineering leadership about developer experience philosophy and team roadmap.
Where can I find and apply to developer tools jobs?
You can find and apply to developer tools jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience and specialization, then apply directly to each one that fits.
