Frostbite is EA's proprietary game engine, powering many of our leading titles across EA SPORTS, Battlefield, and more. We develop shared tools and technologies that connect and empower creators throughout EA. On Frostbite, you'll collaborate with accomplished teams and contribute to the foundation that enables the creation of immersive, high-quality games for players worldwide.

Join us as a Development Director to help lead the Frostbite ACE team. Reporting to the Director of Engine Development, you will be accountable for operational excellence across Agentic Engineering, Data & Insights, and Documentation teams.

Responsibilities:

• You will drive the operating rhythm across all teams within the ACE team area: planning, sequencing, capacity, risk identification, dependencies, status, and decision flow.

• Partner with the Director of Engine Development and Technical Director in the leadership triad.

• Adopt and promote Frostbite-wide operating processes (planning rituals, capacity modelling, risk and dependency tracking, status reporting, and talent recruitment).

• Build the operating muscle for sustainable execution: realistic commitments, clean handoffs, and a delivery rhythm the team can hold over multiple quarters.

• Reporting on progress, risks, and opportunities.

• Coach and grow the DD leaders inside the three ACE sub-teams.

• Model healthy triad partnership and promote a collaborative, inclusive, "one team" culture.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years leading delivery for technical teams and complex, multi-partner programs, in platform engineering, developer tools, or large-scale software environments.

• You have experience installing and driving operating cadences at portfolio scale: planning, prioritization, capacity management, identification and mitigation of risk and dependencies, and providing credible status to senior leadership.

• You are comfortable leading through rapid change, especially in fast-evolving technical domains (AI/ML, agentic workflows).

• You excel at partnership and can broker resource and prioritization conversations across domains without authority over them.

Bonus:

• Familiarity with AI / agentic workflows and developer productivity tooling

• Experience in game development, game engines, or other large, long-lived codebases.

This is a hybrid remote/in-office role.
