Our teams build meaningful relationships with hundreds of millions of players around the world who love our games. We aim to be the best at meeting players where they are and supporting them throughout their journey with EA. Our teams develop the strategic vision of our products, run outstanding multi-channel campaigns, build global engagement across all touch points, develop global insights, and propel sales and global publishing. We understand the dynamic global landscape so we can bring relevant content, promotions, and help to players anywhere.

What You’ll Do:

At Electronic Arts, we exist to inspire the world to play. We have many examples of players creating their own content, whether it be a skateboard park in Skate or fantastical mansions in the Sims 4. As a Software Engineering Intern at EA, you will work with a team of Software Engineers to develop applications that help players create their own unique gaming experiences. You are a problem solver, comfortable in backend coding, who is always up for new challenges. Note that this is not a game studio design role

Responsibilities:

• Develop readable, testable, clean code that integrates well within a larger system.
• Work within the Agile Development Methodology and participate in Scrum ceremonies.
• Get to know how our requirements become technical designs, which become usable software.
• Participate in sharing and receive constructive feedback through code reviews.
• Work with partner engineers and designers to understand iteratively adding features and APIs.
• Contribute to a creative, supportive culture for the entire team.

Qualifications: 

• You are pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in a related field
• You have basic knowledge of the software development lifecycle
• You have a working knowledge of a JVM language (Kotlin (preferred), Java, Scala, Groovy)
• You understand basic data structures and algorithms
• You have experience with at least one public cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure)

You must be available for a full-time paid internship in the summer of 2025. We are only considering students who will be enrolled in an accredited degree program in the summer of 2025, slated to graduate no earlier than May 2026. You must be legally authorized to work in Canada on a full-time basis during the 16-week internship. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
