EA SPORTS is one of the most iconic brands in entertainment - connecting hundreds of millions around the world to the sports they love through a portfolio of industry-leading video games.

The EA SPORTS UFC franchise offers the electrifying spectacle and entertainment of MMA for over 20 million players across the globe. It delivers fluid and responsive mixed martial arts through inventive gameplay technology.

These systems include matchmaking, social features, live events, progression, real-time gameplay and cross-platform play, serving hundreds of thousands of concurrent players. Your work will shape how players interact, form communities, and enjoy UFC together.

You will work in a hybrid model, 3 days a week out of our EAV Studio in Burnaby, British Columbia (Tuesday to Thursday) and will report to the Online Technical lead.

Responsibilities Build the Connected UFC Experience.
