External Description:

Software Engineer - Mobile UI

Software Engineer - Quality Engineering

 

This position is for a full-stack web developer to help build the new suite of web applications that drive automated testing across EA’s mobile and console platforms. The role is primarily frontend-based, using TypeScript and Angular to build out the UIs, but will require working in the team’s C# and Python-based backend systems to build RESTful APIs for the frontend.

 

The Software Engineer is a member of the Central Development Services (CDS) team at Electronic Arts. The CDS team is at the forefront of emerging technology, creating and optimizing tools that enable our teams to code better and more efficiently. Working as one team we are pushing the envelope, striving for ‘Quality by Design’ wherever possible.

 

The role requires a personality type that is outgoing, dynamic, enthusiastic, and able to network across groups and individuals to be part of a larger community. The Software Engineer will also interact with EA teams across the world, primarily in our Ireland and Australia studios.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or Software Engineering or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• A minimum of 4+ years of technology industry experience.
• This role will be split between frontend and backend development, therefore experience developing with frontend web technologies: JavaScript/TypeScript, CSS, and JavaScript framework(s) such as Angular, React, or VueJS is essential.
• On the backend our team primarily uses C# and the .NET Core framework but we’re looking for a developer with strong experience in one or more OO languages such as C#, Java, Python, Go, or Ruby.
• Knowledge of HTTP and how to design and interact with RESTful web services.
• Experience with and/or exposure to microservices.
• Understanding and experience with securing web services and applications.
• Experience with Git.
• Experience with unit, integration, and functional testing.
• Knowledge of architecting and building scalable, resilient, and performant web services.

• Knowledgeable of the software lifecycle, modern testing methods, and a solid understanding of continuous integration.
• Demonstrated problem solving and innovation skills
• Ability to work independently with minimal outside supervision.
• Ability to multi-task, prioritize and be flexible – able to adapt plans and react to change.

Additional Skills and Abilities

• Working knowledge of deployment and management systems utilizing containerization (Docker, Mesos, Kubernetes) is a plus.
• Experience with Video Game development is a plus.
• Experience with functional programming is a plus.
• Knowledge of test automation and/or development process improvements.
