Online Software Engineer
Ripple Effect, an evolution of Battlefield's DICE LA, is a Los Angeles-based game studio on a mission to build community-first experiences through continuous innovation and boundary breaking technology.
Our Ethos: We value how ideas take shape - in a conversation, a prototype, a dream. Inspiration flows through our studio, homes, and minds. With one drop of inspiration, the idea begins to spread and the smallest idea quickly grows to something bigger than us. That's by design. As with our games, we are advancing the industry - one idea at a time. We are Ripple Effect.
Our Values: We believe in an honest and transparent environment, where developers grow in our crafts. We value bold risk-taking followed by excellence through iteration. We seek developers with diverse experiences who will enrich our studio creativity.
We are looking for an engineer like you to join our Online team who has experience building online game systems. You will work with senior engineers to architect and refine the interfaces between the game client/server and our central systems for matchmaking, player marshalling, commerce, and other online features. You will partner with other EA teams to integrate and leverage central technology. This role will report to our Studio Engineering Line Director, based in our studio in Los Angeles, California. We are considering on-site and hybrid working options, and welcome full-time remote candidates who are within a three hour time difference to the Pacific Time Zone to apply.
Requirements:
- BSc in Computer Science or equivalent experience
- Knowledge of C++
- Experience with client/server architecture
- Shipped game titles with online role
- Great collaborative skills that support an open working environment
