  • Perform anti-cheat assessments of pre-release products

  • Consult with and advise EA game teams on how to mitigate specific cheats

  • Identify cheat variants that defeat previous mitigations, and suggest solutions


Qualifications

  • Read and understand x86/x64 assembly language

  • Experience with a debugger such as WinDbg, x64dbg, OllyDbg, or gdb

  • Experience with a disassembler such as Ghidra, IDA Pro, Binary Ninja, or radare2

  • Read and understand one or more of C++, C#, Java, or .NET CIL
