test strategy and test plan of our new and existing games, and evaluate the game launch risks in terms of
stability, scalability, and performance of the backend systems. You will have direct contact with the game
team and other stakeholders and you will get the chance to influence the game from early design through
to release. You will have the opportunity to create new features and tools aiming to support EA's digital
business, as well as automate legacy processes to design innovative solutions to challenging problems.
