Electronic Arts

At our core, Electronic Arts is a game maker that connects hundreds of millions of players from around the globe to some of the world's greatest games. The In-Game Experiences (IGX) team drives the strategy and implementation of EA's common social experiences that benefit the entire portfolio of games.  These experiences include helping EA's community of players connect to one another and to the games they love to play - across social, commerce, cross-play, and connections to external networks and first parties.

These include features that live within our franchises and centrally-owned destinations like our upcoming mobile app. Your remit is rooted in product discovery; helping us determine what features to build, areas to invest in, and then distilling problem spaces into requirements. This means you'll partner with back and front-end technical teams, design counterparts, game studios, and partners across our organization, to bring your product vision for this space to market.
