The EA SPORTS UFC franchise delivers the spectacle, intensity, and authenticity of MMA to tens of millions of players around the world. As the team strives to build the greatest fighting game in the world, online play sits at the heart of how fans compete, connect, and grow together.

As an Online Software Engineer, you will help design and build the systems that power our connected experience: social features, matchmaking, live events, progression systems, and cross-platform interactions enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of players concurrently. Your work will directly influence how players challenge each other, support each other, engage with real-world UFC events, and build lasting communities.

If you’re passionate about scalable systems, live-service gameplay, and building meaningful social features for a global audience, this is an opportunity to make a real impact.

You will be working on a hybrid model, 3 days a week out of our EAV Studio in Burnaby, British Columbia.
